In news Victorians have been waiting for, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced "big steps" towards a "COVID-safe summer".

The premier outlined a number of restrictions set to ease from midnight on Sunday, as Victoria records 37 days without a COVID-19 case.

It is something that every Victorian owns, it is something that every Victorian has built through the sacrifice, through all that they have given up, the character that they have shown, and the compassion that they have extended to each other," he said.
