Victoria has continued its downward trend of coronavirus cases, recording 10 new cases and seven deaths in the past 24 hours.

Metropolitan Melbourne have brought their 14-day average down to 18.2 cases a day.

Melbourne is required to reach an average of five cases a day to move into the third step of the re-opening roadmap.

Premier Daniel Andrews said suppression of the virus, not eradication, remains Victoria's coronavirus goal.
