Victoria has recorded 507 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 and one further death as the state's Delta outbreak worsens.
The state government has today announced its roadmap out of lockdowns.
The 507 new infections takes the number of active cases in the state to 5,262, with the vast majority of those acquired in the community.

They were detected from 58,619 test results processed on Saturday.
The health department has not provided details about how many of the new infections are linked to known outbreaks, as contact tracers work to stay on top of the Delta outbreak.
Authorities yesterday admitted the contact tracing system was "under pressure" but denied it was overwhelmed amid an overhaul to the way positive cases are contacted.
There were 43,441 doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered in state-run sites.
Earlier federal data shows at least 71.2 per cent of Victorians had one dose, and 43.5 per cent were fully vaccinated.
With infections expected to keep rising and pressure mounting on the state's healthcare system, Melbourne will stay in some form of lockdown until more of the population has had both doses.
It comes a day after anti-lockdown protests in inner Melbourne turned violent, with more than 230 of the demonstrators arrested and 10 police officers injured.
