The duration of the lockdown will not solely depend on the numbers of cases in the community premier Daniel Andrews said at his media briefing on Friday.

He said the potential early release of part of regional Victoria would depend on a number of factors.

"When it comes to the duration of lockdown and where we find ourselves, whether it is the potential release of areas in regional Victoria or if it continues beyond Tuesday night, a number factors come in to play," he said.

"It is less about the number of cases and much more about the exposure days that people have spent in the community while infectious before they went into isolation.

"It's too early to predict where we will be on Tuesday but having acted early, we are in a much better place to be out of this quickly."

Mr Andrews said while the decision to go into a five-day lockdown might not be easy or popular, it was the right call.

"I know and understand this is not easy but we had no choice and the additional cases and context of them confirms we had to make that tough call," he said. "We have done this before and done it with Delta. I am confident the coronavirus testing team, in partnership with every Victorian playing their part, can do it again."

Mr Andrews announced the federal government will help financially support people who are out of works or lost work hours as a result of the five-day lockdown.

"They were positive discussions (last night with Scott Morrison) and we will see a situation where those benefits and payments apply regardless of this being a five-day lockdown as opposed to a seven-day day trigger point proposed by the federal government," he said.

The federal payments will go to people in nominated Commonwealth hotzones that currently include Greater Melbourne, Geelong, Queenscliff, the Surf Coast and the Mooroobool Shire.

"Those payments will be paid by the Commonwealth and, for the rest of Victoria, (the state government) will pick up the tab for all of those eligible workers," Mr Andrews said.

"The Commonwealth Services Australia will administer the system and send us a bill for regional workers. It is important everyone across the board gets the support they need."

Testing commander Jeroen Weimar confirmed Victoria had seen 10 new COVID-19 cases since Thursday - including the four cases reported on Thursday.

Mr Weimar detailed where the main clusters of cases are:

One of the 24 cases is fully vaccinated and four people have had their first dose of Astra Zeneca.

Mr Weimar said the message around testing was as important as ever.

"Testing remains as important as it has been over the last year and half," he said. "If you have any kind of symptoms we want you to get tested.

"About 33,000 people did that yesterday, which is a strong number but we want as many people as possible with concerns (about infections) to get tested now."

There was also one new case acquired overseas, now in hotel quarantine.

The new cases come after premier Daniel Andrews announced Victoria would go into the snap lockdown to curb the latest outbreak.
