维州州长Daniel Andrews不排除第4阶段的封城限制延长到9月13日之后。周日，该州新增114例新冠病毒病例，11人死亡。
一项将紧急状态延长6个月的协议悬而未决，因为一群议员表示他们不支持这项协议。
公共卫生部门将在本周对数据进行评估，以确定目前的限制在两周后结束之时，可能对规则做出什么样的改变。
Andrews先生表示，现在评价墨尔本届时是否能够重返第3阶段还为时过早。
“在那之前，我们将能够让人们更清楚的了解局势处在什么阶段，这将会是后面几周和几个月的一个特点。”他说：“我们会尽可能的给人们带来确定性的通知。”
Andrews先生表示，他明白每个维州人都想知道政府下一步将采取什么行动，但他认为病例数量仍然太多，因此无法公开并确定一项战略。
“不论是100，94还是114，不论数字是多少，我们都不能开放。”他继续说：“数字可能会激增，我们也可能会面临比最近几个月更糟糕的情况。“
“我们不能浪费所有做好的工作和做出的牺牲。”
“一旦我们看到这些数字进一步下降，我们将可以更明确的讨论这个问题。我们都希望能够击败第2波疫情，但是必须是以适当的方式，”
随着Andrews政府试图通过一项法案以延长其紧急状态，维州议会将在周二进行至关重要的投票。
理性党（Reason Party）议员Fiona Patten说，她促成了一项协议，该协议将延长议员六个月的时间，条件是议员每4周应听取简报。
但目前尚不清楚该提议是否得到上议院其他跨界政客的足够支持，许多人宣称他们不支持延长六个月的时间。
Andrews表示，双方正在进行“非常富有成效”的商讨。
他说：“下周议会开会时，我很有信心我们既能得到一份保护公众健康的安排，又使我们有法律上的确定性来制定开放计划。”
在周六记录的11例死亡中，有9例与老年护理中心疫情有关。
医院中有472名维多利亚人接受新冠病毒治疗，其中25名为重症监护患者，11名在使用呼吸机。
该州的2830例活跃病例包括406名医护人员。
Geelong有55个活跃病例，增加了3个，而Bendigo和Ballarat没有新增病例，分别有10个和6个活跃病例。
仅三例感染被列为神秘病例，该州的社区感染总数达到4226。

It is unlikely metropolitan Melbourne will come out of stage four restrictions in two weeks, according to Deputy Chief Medical Officer Nick Coatsworth.
He said it was “hard to see” restrictions being lifted on schedule, given the coronavirus numbers still being reported in Victoria.
The state recorded 73 new cases and 19 deaths on Monday, but the death toll jumped by 41 after aged-care facilities reported new deaths in the weeks leading up to August 27.
“I have to be honest ... with the people of Victoria,” Dr Coatsworth said.
“I think that we’re going to have to see the numbers down where they’re controllable.
“That is the numbers that you are seeing in NSW and Queensland at the moment.
“You can see the effort that it takes to control numbers between about five and 10 per day.
“I think we need to see what happens to the numbers. I think the numbers need to be a lot less than they are now.”
A deal to extend the government’s state of emergency powers by six months is also up in the air after a group of crossbench MPs declared they would not support it.
Public health authorities are to assess infection data over this week as they work to determine what rule changes will be possible when the current limits are scheduled to end in a fortnight.
Mr Andrews said it was still too early to say whether Melbourne would then be able to move back into stage three.
“Before then though we will be able to give people a clear sense of the different stages that will be a feature of the weeks and months to come,” he said. “We will give people as much certainty and as much notice as we can.”
Mr Andrews said he understood every Victorian wanted to know what the government’s next steps would be, but he said case numbers were still too high to open up and to finalise a strategy.
“At 100, 94, at 114, whatever the number, we simply could not open up,” he said. “Those numbers would explode, we would finish up in perhaps an even worse situation than we have been in recent months.
“We cannot fritter away all that good work and sacrifice.
“Once we see these numbers fall further, we will be able to talk in more definitive terms. We all wanted this second wave to be defeated but it needs to be defeated properly.”
There will be a crucial vote in the Victorian parliament on Tuesday as the Andrews government attempts to push through a Bill to extend its state of emergency powers.
Reason Party MP Fiona Patten said she had brokered a deal that would grant an extension for six months on the condition MPs were briefed every four weeks.
But it’s unclear whether the proposal has enough support from other crossbench politicians in the upper house, with many declaring they would not support a six-month extension.
“I’m confident that as parliament sits next week we’ll get both a set of arrangements that protect public health but also give us the legal certainty to have a plan to open up,” he said.
“A plan that runs for a considerable period of time.”
Mr Andrews said Victoria’s state of disaster, due to expire Wednesday, was likely to extended pending advice from the Emergency Manager Commissioner and Emergency Services Minister.
Of the 11 deaths recorded on Saturday, nine were linked to aged care outbreaks.
There were 472 Victorians in hospital being treated for coronavirus — 25 in intensive care and 11 on ventilators.
The state’s 2830 active cases include 406 healthcare workers and 127 in aged care.
Infections in regional Victoria continue to fall, with 166 active cases recorded.
There are 55 active cases in Geelong — an increase of three — while Bendigo and Ballarat have not recorded any new cases, with 10 and six active cases respectively.
Just three infections were listed as mystery cases, taking the state’s community transmission total to 4226.
