Victorians are poised to be released from the state's strict lockdown at 11.59pm on Tuesday, but tight public health restrictions will remain in place until the state's Delta outbreak is fully extinguished.

Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley said the steps out of the current restrictions are expected to be announced tomorrow morning.

"Nothing has yet been finalised but we're mindful of the need, as soon as possible, to share that with Victoria," Minister Foley said.

He urged anyone who leaves home for any of the five reasons to check in with QR codes anywhere they go and looks forward to updating Victorians about any 'cautious' easing of restrictions from tomorrow.

There are 179 active cases in Victoria, with 21,183 primary close contacts linked to the current outbreak.

Five cases are in hospital. Two of them are in intensive care, with one currently on a ventilator.

Over 25,000 tests were processed from Sunday.

Today's cases include two linked to the Miss Frankie restaurant.

The other nine cases are household primary close contacts and include; two linked to Trinity Grammar, two to Bacchus Marsh Grammar, two from AAMI Park, two from the City of Hume and one from Young and Jackson's.

"The nature of this particular outbreak and variant are different this time," Minister Foley said.

"Despite the fact that we've had 22 cases in the last two days, all of which have been in solation for the entirety of their infectious period, it's still 22 cases.

"When we get the most recent data that will come in over the course of today, and public health officials make a decision based on the amalgamation of all that real time information, then we'll have more to say about what the steps out of these current restrictions will look like tomorrow morning."

He said the current Delta outbreak was more challenging given the 'increasing' risk of spread from New South Wales and the high number of exposure sites from large events and in public spaces.

"The public health team identify New South Wales as an extreme risk," the health minister said.

Fragments of COVID-19 have been found in wastewater for the following suburbs: Werribee, Tarneit, Truganina, Hatfield, Oak Park, and Pascoe Vale.

Earlier, 10am: Victoria has recorded 11 new COVID-19 cases as the end of the strict lockdown tomorrow night becomes increasingly likely.

Of the 11 new cases recorded, all were isolating throughout the entire infectious period.

There were 13,953 vaccines administered on Sunday and 25,404 tests returned.

The current lockdown is scheduled to end at 11.59pm on Tuesday night.

COVID-19 restrictions are certain to remain after midnight, but it expected the lockdown will be eased in some ways.

Premier Daniel Andrews on Sunday said he was confident the lockdown wouldn't be extended again, citing the downward trend in the number of people in the community while infectious.

"These numbers are the trend that we wanted to see, these numbers are more than promising, but we just have to wait and see what comes through tomorrow and Tuesday to be certain that we can ease restrictions," Mr Andrews told reporters.

"I will foreshadow, there will still be rules after midnight Tuesday, it'll be important that we all follow them."

Victorian cabinet ministers and the public health team will meet on Monday to discuss the new set of restrictions, but Mr Andrews flagged masks will remain compulsory for some time.

"Masks are going to be a feature from now until we get the maximum number of people through the vaccination program," he said.

There are more than 22,000 people self-isolating across the state after being deemed close contacts of positive cases, while there are more than 380 exposure sites.

Mr Andrews expressed his dismay at "selfish" anti-lockdown protesters who gathered in Melbourne on Saturday but said he was reasonably confident it would not become a super-spreader event.
