Saturday's statistics for the past 24 hours follow hopes by Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton that daily case numbers might drop below triple figures. Since last Monday there have been no more than 150 new daily coronavirus cases. But Premier Daniel Andrews remains adamant it is too soon to dramatically relax the rules.
