Victoria has recorded no new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 for the fourth consecutive day.
There was one infection detected in hotel quarantine from 20,441 test results processed on Saturday.
It has been nearly two weeks since a positive case has been recorded in someone who was not in quarantine during their infectious period.
The number of active cases in the state has fallen by seven to 23, with most of those in hotel quarantine.
Tightened restrictions remain in place across the state, including caps on gatherings, masks indoors and density limits in place across business and community facilities.
The opposition and industry groups have been calling for more support for businesses hit by the lockdown, in particular in the tourism and major events industry.
The current settings are expected to remain in place until at least 11:59pm this Thursday, July 8.
COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar yesterday said the easing of those restrictions would depend on both the Victorian situation and interstate outbreaks.

)Overnight, the state moved the Perth and Peel regions in Western Australia to orange zones under its traffic light border permit system.
Parts of Queensland, including Townsville, Gold Coast and Ipswich also moved to orange zones.
Anyone who enters the state on an orange zone permit needs to be tested on arrival and quarantine until they receive a negative result.
The City of Brisbane, Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast remain as red zones, as do Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Shellharbour and Wollongong in New South Wales.
Victorians who have been in red zones need to quarantine for 14 days if they return home, while non-residents are effectively banned from the state without an exemption.
There were 15,151 vaccine doses administered in state-run vaccination centres on Saturday, while federal data shows 21,240 doses were administered by the Commonwealth on Friday.
