Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has revealed more about his plans for the state when its coronavirus lockdowns end.

As Victoria’s daily COVID infections fell again, and its heartbreaking death toll also slumped, Mr Andrews said on Tuesday he would reveal two road maps for opening up the state.

There will be one plan for metropolitan Melbourne and a different set of rules for the rest of Victoria, where active coronavirus cases have fallen to just over 100.

“We believe that, given the low case numbers, it will be possible for us to have different settings in regional Victoria, and a different timeline and road map compared to what will be essential in metropolitan Melbourne,” Mr Andrews said.

“The challenge is different in metropolitan Melbourne than it is in regional Victoria. We will always to make sure the rules are as simple and logical as they can. That’s not easy but we’re confident we can strike that balance.”

The Premier’s double-barrelled plan for Victorians will be outlined on Sunday.

Victorian health authorities confirmed 70 more COVID infections (58 after 12 were reclassified) on Tuesday, and five deaths.

They were all women, aged from their 70s to their 90s. All were linked to aged-care outbreaks.

The fatalities take the state’s virus death toll to 570, but are far short of the record 41 reported on Monday. Many of those deaths dated from as far back as early July, and were reported by aged-care homes at the weekend.

Tuesday’s coronavirus toll is the state’s lowest since four deaths confirmed on August 15.

Australia’s COVID death toll is 657.

Tuesday’s infection figures continue a recent double-figure trend as Melbourne nears the end of its six-week shutdown to quell its deadly second wave.

“If we can drive these numbers down to the lowest possible level and then set in, lock in, a set of rules, that are as open as possible, that’s exactly what we have to achieve and that’s exactly what we will do,” Mr Andrews said.

He has already revealed some hints about plans for beyond Melbourne’s Stage 4 shutdown, and the Stage 3 restrictions in the rest of Victoria.

They include “a traffic light system” for each phase and an initial focus on industries that have been closed since the measures began on August 2.

There will also be a focus on outdoor gatherings, including workplace meetings, and a likely lingering ban on large gatherings in family homes.

Alarm for NSW trains, buses

Health authorities in NSW have issued alerts for buses, trains and some of Sydney’s busiest railway stations as they confirmed 13 new COVID infections on Tuesday.

People who have subsequently tested positive to the virus passed through Sydney’s Central, Wynyard and Town Hall stations last week, prompting the alerts.

Two of Tuesday’s infections were returned travellers in hotel quarantine.

The other 11 are locally acquired and linked to known clusters. They include seven connected to the Sydney CBD outbreak, which has grown to 41 cases.

One of the new cases connected to the cluster visited the City Tattersalls gym and two worked at Reddam Early Learning Centre in Lindfield. All staff and children who attended the centre considered close contacts and directed to get tested and isolate for 14 days.
