Victoria has recorded 12 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases, with ten of those in quarantine for their entire infectious period.
The state recorded 14 cases on Friday, 11 of which were in quarantine for their entire infectious period.Police meanwhile say they are concerned about"entitled" protesters planning to mass in Melbourne on Saturday.
A rally involving a few hundred people could involve flares and the blocking of an inner-city bridge, Chief Commissioner of Police Shane Patton said on Friday. Rising cases in Sydney prompted the premier on Friday to call for a"ring of steel" around the northern city, to prevent virus spread into his and other states.
The premier pitched the idea at national cabinet with Prime Minister Scott Morrison and other state and territory leaders on Friday afternoon, but his request was denied.In a press conference following the meeting, Mr Morrison argued stay-at-home rules were enough to keep the virus at bay.
