A man in his 50s died in hospital and a woman in her 80s died at home yesterday.
Twenty-three more cases have been confirmed today, taking the state’s total to 1158.
There are 88 cases which may indicate community transmission, 45 people in hospital and 11 patients in intensive care.
Health Minister Jenny Mikakos this morning urged people to stay strong and stay home to safe lives.
“It’s been three weeks since Victoria declared a state of emergency and 72 days since the first person in our state was diagnosed with COVID-19,” she said.
“I know it feels so much longer.
“Stay strong Victorians, stay home, hold the line – lives depend on it.”
