There are no new coronavirus cases in regional Victoria, Premier Daniel Andrews said.
There were 10 new cases recorded on Tuesday, all from metropolitan Melbourne, with seven of those cases under investigation.
"These case numbers are evidence that the strategy is working," Mr Andrews said.
"There are just six active cases in regional communities.
"That is a fantastic number and one that every regional Victorian will be proud of."
Mr Andrews said the 14-day new case average in regional Victoria is 0.6 cases per day.
"It is proof beyond question that the strategy is working and something that is the work of every Victorian following the rules and playing their part," he said.
