Health Minister Jenny Mikakos has revealed there have been 149 new virus cases in Victoria.
In an interview with the ABC on Wednesday morning, she also said there had been 24 more deaths since Tuesday.
Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to front the media later on Wednesday.
On Monday, Mr Andrews announced his plans to introduce a bill to parliament to extend the state of emergency in Victoria until at least September next year in four-week increments.
The current state of emergency expires on September 13, 2020.
“This is not in relation to curfews. This is not in relation to stage 4. These are many of the rules that we have had to become particularly familiar with, and they’re the sorts of rules that will be here, potentially, for a long time,” he said.
“Keeping your distance, washing your hands, staying in your own home if you’ve got this virus. I’d love to think that this virus would end on the 13th of next month. It’s not going to.”
