Twenty two of those 23 are linked to aged care outbreaks.

There are 532 Victorians in hospital, with 29 receiving intensive care and 11 on ventilators.

There are 35 more mystery cases with an unknown source.

Of the state's 3308 active cases, 198 are in regional Victoria, 48 are in disability settings and 1412 are in aged care.

There are 391 healthcare worker active cases, indicating a further decrease.

"It's good news, we don't want any of our frontline heroes getting sick doing the work they do," Premier Daniel

"By playing our part we're not just protecting our family and every family, we're protecting our heroes, those nurses and doctors."

Numbers in key regional communities have increased in Geelong at 71, and dropped to 16 in Bendigo and six in Ballarat.

"That is a much better position than we were in a few weeks ago," Premier Andrews said.

"But there should be no sense of complacency in any community.

"We've got to continue to do everything we can to keep numbers low."

A workplace blitz has seen seen 916 visits and 78 notices issued since July.

The Premier said they don't yet have a roadmap of what getting out of stage four looks like, but one would be provided soon.

"This strategy is working and the numbers are coming down," he said.

"The alternative would be to ignore the fact this is transmitted very quickly, if we didn't have these very challenging rules in place would see our hospital system would be overrun

"People every day presenting to hospital with heart attacks, strokes, or have been in accidents, they would miss out on treatment.

"The strategy is working, we have got to defeat this second wave before we begin opening up or we will see a third wave and would be in even worse circumstances very quickly, that's why we cant open up right now.

"These rules won't be in place a minute longer than they need to be.

"There is in every sense cause for people to feel positive that this strategy is working, we will beat this thing, we will get past this second wave and repair the damage and get Victoria's strength back."

Family Violence Prevention Minister Gabrielle Williams said more Victorians at home has meant the risk of family violence has increased.

She announced the roll-out of five addition orange door sites, including in the Wimmera South West.

"It really is critical people understand if you are experiencing family violence you are entirely permitted to leave and supports are still available if you need it," she said.

"The orange door network brings together services and operates as a coordination point to make it easier for victim survivors to navigate what is an extremely complex system.

"We've acquitted 166 of the recommendations from the Family Violence Royal Commission and the other 61 are underway."

Greater Bendigo recorded its 100^th case of COVID-19 on Wednesday.

But active case numbers remained steady at 23 in the municipality.

No changes were reported to coronavirus case numbers in the Macedon Ranges, Mount Alexander, Central Goldfields, Campaspe, Gannawarra, Loddon or Buloke shires.

Meanwhile, a daily protest in Melbourne's outer southeast was been broken up after residents again rebelled against the city's strict COVID-19 lockdown rules.

As Premier Daniel Andrews vies for a 12-month extension to state of emergency powers, online vision showed hundreds of people walking through Dandenong streets on Wednesday afternoon.
