Authorities administered more than 17,200 vaccinations on Tuesday with another 28,267 people who got tested for the virus.

It comes as the state government shut its border to seven Sydney municipalities due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

The move will ban residents from the municipalities of the City of Sydney, Waverley, Woollahra, Bayside, Canada Bay, Inner West and Randwick entering Victoria.

"If you enter at an airport or seaport from a red zone without a permit, you will be fined and will stay in hotel quarantine until return transport is arranged," the health department said.

Victorian residents who have been in a red zone - other than for transit - can still return to the state with a permit but must self-isolate at home for 14 days.

Wollongong has also been listed as an orange zone, meaning incoming travellers from there must get tested soon after arrival and isolated until they receive a negative result.

In a tweet, the department said Prof Sutton strongly discouraged any non-essential travel into Victoria from red or orange zones.
