Victoria records two new coronavirus cases and two deaths - ABC News

Victoria has recorded two new coronavirus cases and two deaths in the past 24 hours, the state's health department says.

These are the first COVID-19 deaths reported in Victoria since October 19.

Melbourne's rolling 14-day average of new cases per day has fallen from 2.8 to 2.7, and there are three "mystery" cases from the past two weeks with no known source of infection.

The new cases come as Melburnians return to cafes, restaurants and shops today after Premier Daniel Andrews lifted a number of lockdown restrictions in the city.

Cafe worker Annika Nielsen says staff at her eatery in Oak Park, in Melbourne's north, have gone to great lengths to ensure the venue meets COVIDSafe requirements.

"We've taken out about half of the tables and chairs, we sanitise everything in between everyone's usage, we've taken everything off the tables, the salt and pepper shakers, the sugar," she said.

Tina Kouts said she wanted to make the most of the eased restrictions on retail outlets, which reopened at midnight.

"We were really excited about the shops opening and everything opening and pretty much just buying bed linen and Christmas presents for Christmas coming up and everything," she said.

More to come.
