* Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley says the country is "nowhere near" ready to discuss opening up and needs to focus on firstly keeping the virus at bay through dedicated risk-based quarantine facilities.

* The state recorded one new case on Sunday - a close contact of a case linked to the Arcare Maidstone outbreak, who has been quarantining throughout their infectious period.

* Under loosened restrictions for Melbourne, masks remain mandatory indoors and outdoors and people must stay within 25km of their homes unless working or studying, caregiving or getting a vaccine.
