Three new coronavirus cases in Victoria, no deaths | October 29

Premier Daniel Andrews said two of Victoria's three new coronavirus cases are under investigation, with another linked to a known outbreak.

Mr Andrews' remarks come as Victoria recorded three new COVID-19 cases since Wednesday.

There are five Victorians in hospital receiving treatment for coronavirus, as more than 24,000 tests were conducted on Wednesday.

There are no active cases in regional Victoria, Mr Andrews said.

As Melburnians were released from lockdown on Wednesday, Mr Andrews fielded questions about reopening state borders, particularly with NSW.

"They (NSW) have made it abundantly clear they want to see how things unfold," Mr Andrews said.

"I know it's frustrating, but I can't give people a date."

The state border with NSW closed in early July, with residents of border communities acquiring permits to allow travel across state lines.
