There are now 330 people in hospital with the virus, 57 in ICU and 30 of those are on a ventilator.
Premier Daniel Andrews yesterday confirmed a host of rules would disappear from 11.59pm Thursday, November 18, giving fully vaccinated Victorians some much cherished and well-earned freedom from the restrictions that have dogged the state for much of the past 20 months.

There were zero new cases were recorded in the Mount Alexander, Loddon Shire, Buloke, Central Goldfields and Gannawarra shires.
