Victoria has recorded 1029 new COVID-19 cases and three deaths as the state approaches its 90 percent double-dosed vaccination target. The figures bring Victoria’s total number of active cases to 9533 as the state government sets to gather enough support to pass its controversial Pandemic Bill.

There are currently 316 people hospitalised due to the virus with 98 in intensive care and 23 on the ventilator. On Sunday, over 49,000 COVID-19 tests were processed and 3510 people got vaccinated at state-run vaccination hubs.
