Of them, 1479 people have recovered. Confirmed community transmissions stand at 171.
Ten Covid-19 patients remain in hospital including five in intensive care. Eighteen Victorians have died of the virus.

“Today’s increase in cases illustrates once again that while we have been flattening the curve, our battle against COVID-19 is far from over,” Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton said.
“We are also asking Victorians to continue this amazing effort and get tested if they have symptoms of coronavirus, however mild, because the more tests we do, the more data we have about the prevalence of coronavirus in the community.”
Meanwhile, Victoria Police have issued eight fines to people breaking social distancing rule since Sunday 17 May.
