Victoria has recorded 11 deaths overnight - all of these were linked to outbreaks in aged care facilities.
To date, 147 people have died from coronavirus across the state since the beginning of the pandemic.
The Premier has also introduced the largest on-the-spot fine in Victoria.
Currently, there is a $1652 on the spot fine if you breach directions of chief health officer and $200 for not wearing a mask.
Mr Andrews has introduced a new $4957 on the spot fine for those who breach isolation orders. This is the largest fine "on the books" in Victoria.
"We want people to be where they are supposed to be because that is how we will all get past this," Mr Andrews said.
A repeat of coronavirus breaches may lead to an appearance in the Magistrates Court and a $20,000 fine.
