Victoria has recorded 11 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases, with only one in quarantine during their infectious period. The new cases come after Victorians fronted up for 38,987 tests in the past 24 hours.

The state had 17,101 vaccinations administered, with that number expected to climb as Australia’s first drive-through hub opened in Melton this morning. Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp referenced Scott Morrison’s earlier statements, claiming the new hub is a part of a state-wide “race” to get Victorians vaccinated and protected from the highly-contagious COVID-19 Delta variant.

Drivers simply need to book ahead and turn up in their cars, with Up to 1500 Pfizer jabs will be offered each day at the drive-through clinic in Melton, in Melbourne’s west.
