Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said 57 of the new cases were from known sources, one was in quarantine and 370 were under investigation.

There have been three further deaths bringing the total lives lost to 32. A man in his 80s, a man in his 70s and a woman in her 80s have sadly passed away.

Victoria has conducted more than one millions virus tests, and Mr Andrews appealed to anyone with even mild symptoms to come forward to be tested.

Earlier, Gladys Berejiklian announced further restrictions across NSW.

"Complacency will cost lives," the NSW Premier said.

NSW recorded eight new cases of coronavirus in NSW over the last 24 hours.

She said only 100 people could attend funerals and places of worship, while 150 people could attend weddings though mingling and dancing were prohibited.

She said the four-square metre rule applied so depending on the space fewer people might be allowed.

Ms Berejiklian said Dr Kerry Chant had recommended 10 visitors per house was a good number, but said 20 people would still be allowed for now.

She said restaurants and cafes now have to abide by the same rules as pubs with no group bookings of more than 10 people were allowed.

Yesterday's 317 new COVID-19 cases were recorded in Victoria.

Metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire have been in stage three lockdown for a week, and are expected to remain under those conditions until August 19.
