Premier Daniel Andrews has this morning announced $2.7 billion for building projects to help the jobs revival.
The money will be poured into road maintenance, train station and school upgrades and refurbishment to public housing.
"Hundreds and hundreds of projects delivering thousands and thousands of jobs - that's exactly what we need right at this time," Mr Andrews said.
Just before 8am, while announcing the building package this morning, Premier Dan Andrews said there were six new virus cases in Victoria.
It's understood those case involve close contacts with the delivery driver, hotel quarantine and there's also cases under investigation.
Australia has received international backing from more than 60 countries for an independent coronavirus inquiry as trade tensions with China continue.
The draft resolution calls for impartial and a comprehensive evaluation of the international response to the pandemic.
It doesn't mention China, but Australia's push for the inquiry has angered Beijing, which has threatened a huge tariff on barley and banned some beef imports.
Health Minister Greg Hunt will represent Australia at the virtual World Health Assembly meeting on Monday night.
A vote is expected in the early hours of Tuesday.
Earlier: McDonald's has closed 12 restaurants across Victoria and more than 200 staff have been told to be tested after a freight delivery driver tested positive for coronavirus.
All 12 outlets will be shut and deep-cleaned after being visited by the driver, who was asymptomatic and unaware he had COVID-19, The Age reported.
"We have made the decision to close and conduct a deep clean of 12 restaurants in Victoria, following confirmation a truck driver for an external service provider has tested positive for COVID-19," a McDonald's spokeswoman said.
"Potential close contacts and employees who have worked specific shifts during and after the truck driver's delivery have been instructed not to return to work for 14 days and advised to be tested."
The Department of Health confirmed the driver was an extended family member of a worker at Fawkner McDonald's, where a cluster of 10 cases emerged Saturday week ago.
That site has reopened after cleaning.
On Friday, Craigieburn Road West McDonald's was shut for deep cleaning, and its 223 employees went into self-isolation after a worker tested positive to coronavirus.
On Monday abattoir Cedar Meats will begin reopening its premises.
Authorities insist it will be some time before Cedar Meats resumes full operations after 100 coronavirus cases were linked to the meatworks.
The company will restart its cold storage facility on Monday. Victorian Deputy Chief Health Officer Annaliese van Diemen said only staff who had tested negative to the coronavirus would be able to return.
Victoria had another seven COVID-19 cases on Sunday, two of the fresh cases were linked to Cedar Meats in Melbourne, bringing the total cases at the Brooklyn facility to 100.
Domino's confirmed late on Sunday it was notified on Friday a worker at its Fairfield store had tested positive to COVID-19.
