"If you want to have tin-pot theories, that's fine, but keep them to yourself," Mr Foley said on Friday morning.

"You aren't allowed to come in and abuse nurses and health professionals.

"Keep out of our healthcare settings, it's completely inappropriate and Victoria Police will hold you to account."

Mr Foley said there had a range of attacks on staff at vaccination centres across the state including verbal abuse, racist remarks and spitting.

It comes as Victoria's close contacts count falls to 225 people with three new coronavirus cases recorded in the past 24 hours.

There were 24,706 COVID-19 tests in the past 24 hours and 19,470 vaccines.

There has been 77,353 vaccines administered since Monday across the state including over 49,000 second Pfizer and AstraZeneca doses.

Mr Foley said Victoria Police had been actively patrolling the border, especially along the Murray River region with 2,100 people stopped and checked.

Authorised health officers will be supported by 50 Australian Defence Force personnel for household checks.

Earlier 9.20am: Victoria has recorded three new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours.

All three were found in hotel quarantine meaning Victoria has recorded another day with no locally-transmitted COVID-19 cases.

The latest cases come as the Victorian government puts forward a plan to keep Australians safe while avoiding lockdowns as COVID-19 vaccines are rolled out through the country.

The plans builds on comments from premier Daniel Andrews calling for a reduction on overseas arrivals for the next three months.

Currently, more than half of the country's population is living under lockdown orders across New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

Mr Andrews said hotel quarantine leaks in the last two months had lead to more than 17 million Australians enduring hard lockdowns and tough restrictions.

"Locking some people out is much better than locking everybody down," Mr Andrews said. "That's the government's position, that's my position and that's what I'll argue at National Cabinet today."

Easing of restrictions in Victoria was put on hold earlier in the week, affecting the number of audience members Bendigo Theatre Company can welcome to its premiere of We Will Rock You.

Uncertainty around border closures and vaccine roll-outs led to the Bendigo Swap Meet cancelling its November event.

The Australian Sheep and Wool Show is pressing ahead with its July event, saying plans were too far advanced to cancel the show now.

Border closures have also left staff and students from Bendigo schools stranded in COVID-19 travel red zones.

The Victorian plan urges National Cabinet provide a course out of the pandemic in Australia by reducing numbers of international arrivals in hotel quarantine until a greater vaccine coverage has been reached.

It also focuses on refining the eligibility criteria for Australians to travel abroad and to return home, agree on a national vaccination target to allow for different type of quarantine arrangements and options for safer, Commonwealth-led alternatives to hotel quarantine.

"Australians want to know that there's a plan to get us through this pandemic," Mr Andrews said. "This is the work that needs to happen to get us there and people are entitled to expect their governments to work together to get it done.

"We have a critical window to get our population vaccinated, defeat this pandemic and return to a sense of free and normal life."

On Thursday, Victoria saw 19,470 vaccine doses administered while 24,726 test results were received.

There are currently 32 active coronavirus cases in Victoria.
