Health officials are pleased Victoria’s coronavirus infections are not dramatically increasing but want to see them start to drop as the renewed lockdown has an effect.

Victoria recorded another 374 cases on Tuesday and three more people have died.

NSW confirmed 13 new cases, just one of whom is in hotel quarantine, while Tasmanian officials reported a woman in hotel quarantine after visiting Victoria tested positive.

Most of the NSW cases were linked to growing clusters at an outer Sydney restaurant and pub.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is confident his state’s strict lockdown measures are having a direct impact.

“At the end of the day, we’re not seeing the (case numbers) doubling and doubling again,” he told reporters.

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd said everyone had hoped there would be a drop in cases over the first few weeks, as with the earlier lockdown in March and April.
