The 14 cases pushed Metropolitan Melbourne's 14-day average down to 36.2, well below the target of 50 to lift some restrictions later this month.
However Premier Daniel Andrews is warning against opening up too early.
There, of course, will always be debates about timing, and whether we're on schedule, ahead of schedule, all of those things. We'll do it in safe and steady way. There's no good opening up too early. There is no good letting our frustration get the better of us. Because all that will mean, is that everything metropolitan Melbourne has given, everything that everyone has done to produce these low, but still not low enough numbers, will count for nothing. Because we'll be open, yes. But not open for very long.
