Victoria has recorded 1313 new locally acquired Covid-19 infections on Thursday and four more deaths.
There are 457 Victorians in hospital — 79 of those in intensive care and 48 on a ventilator.
A total of 76,105 tests were processed on Wednesday.
About 85 per cent of Victorians aged older than 12 are fully vaccinated and 92.7 per cent have received their first jab.
A 90 per cent double-dose vaccination rate was predicted to be achieved about November 24.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews previously flagged that there would be “no caps anywhere” beyond that date.
“There will be no density limits anywhere,” he said.
“Masks will only be required in high-risk indoor settings, such as public transport, prisons, hospitals, aged care, to give you some examples.
”I want to see 80,000 plus people at the Boxing (Day) Test on day one.
“It won’t be easy, but we are very confident, very, very confident that we will be able to deliver that.”
