Premier Daniel Andrews said there are no new COVID-19 cases in regional Victoria, as he urged symptomatic people to get tested.
The 14-day rolling average number of new cases is 1.6, compared to 1.8 yesterday.
Mr Andrews said about 7000 people got tested on Saturday, but if test numbers are not maintained, it will hold the state back from taking "future steps".
"The strategy is working, the numbers are coming down, but if we were to open up right now, these numbers are still too high," he said.
School camps will return for regional Victorian students in Term 4, Education Minister James Merlino said.
Each school camp must have a COVID safe plan, with regular and enhanced cleaning.
"We want to see a return of all those other activities that make school life so rich," Mr Merlino said.
"This is a significant step not just for kids and schools but many, many people working in regional communities across the state."
