维州昨天新增4例新冠病例，无死亡病例。
维州首席卫生官员表示，4例当中有2例呈弱阳性，“医学专家小组认为这2例可能不是真的新冠病毒感染者”。
此外还有一例可能是已康复患者，剩下一个病例正在调查中。
最重要的14天滚动均值已降至2.6，而在过去两周中只有有两起活跃的未知来源病例。
隔夜数据更新之际，州反对党透露了一项筹划中的度假者计划，该计划旨在通过使维州度假者可以享受大幅折扣的州内旅行，以促进维州恢复经济发展。
计划中涉及州政府会针对3晚或3晚以上的旅行补贴住宿以及游览的费用。
根据反对党的计划，50％的折扣上限为200澳元。它将在全州范围内适用，并适用于所有维州人。
反对党称该计划为“维多利亚之行”，并表示其目的就是鼓励人们在维州度假并支持当地旅游业。
随之而来的是，将墨尔本和维州其他地区分割开来的“钢环”已经决定于11月9日解除，此举使人们能够在维州内自由来往。
除西澳外所有州都同意的国家内阁计划将在圣诞节前重新开放所有国内州边界，但具体日期尚未确定。
反对党领袖Michael O’Brien指出，维州旅游业需要在经历了恐怖而艰难的一年后获得全力支持。
他说：“许多地区首先遭受了毁灭性的丛林大火，然后经历了本可避免的新冠疫情的第二波袭击。”
“维州政府必须向旅游景点注资，并奖励当地旅行，以支持本州的就业和经济。”
O’Brien先生呼吁Andrews政府出资3亿澳元成立专门的维多利亚旅游基金，以支付折扣度假的费用。
他说：“像这样的措施将帮助更多的维州人随时有机会多探索我们自己美丽的后院（意指州内旅行度假），而非仅仅在州边界开放之后的假期里冲向全国各地。”
英国政府为餐饮业开展了一项类似的计划，名为“外出就餐帮扶计划”，为外出用餐者提供50％的折扣，每人最多可享受10英镑（18.40澳元）的折扣。
根据“维多利亚公路旅行”计划，当人们向运营商预订住宿或旅游套餐时，折扣将自动提供，运营商随后找政府报销这部分优惠的折扣。
维州的旅游业本周要求州政府提供13亿澳元的资金保障行业的生命线，研究显示，由于持续的限制政策，到明年这个时候可能会失去16.5万个工作岗位。
旅游和运输论坛（行业组织）与维州旅游业理事会共同呼吁支持该项要求。
反对派旅游发言人David Hodgett表示，维州的旅游经营者希望打开大门重新开始工作。

Four new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in Victoria overnight, with no deaths added to the state’s tally.
The state’s chief health officer said two of the four cases were weak positives, and “may be deemed not to be true cases by the expert panel”.
Additionally, one of the cases may be a historical or recovered case, while the fourth is under investigation.
The all-important rolling 14-day average has dropped to 2.6, while there have been two active cases of an unknown origin in the past two weeks.
The overnight update comes as the state opposition revealed a plan for holiday-makers to enjoy heavily discounted trips within Victoria, under a proposal to boost the state’s economy.
The scheme would involve the state government subsidising the cost of tours and accommodation for bookings of three nights or more.
A 50 per cent discount would be capped at $200, according to the Opposition’s plans. It would apply statewide and be available to all Victorians.
The Opposition dubbed the idea Road Trip for Victoria and said it was aimed at encouraging people to stay in Victoria for their holidays and support the tourism sector.
It comes as the “ring of steel” dividing Melbourne and regional Victoria is set to be lifted on November 9, allowing people to travel freely across the state once again.
A National Cabinet plan agreed to by all states except Western Australia would see all domestic borders reopened by Christmas, however there is uncertainty about specific dates.
Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien said Victoria’s tourism industry needed all the help it could get after a horror year.
“Many regional communities have first been hit by devastating bushfires, then an avoidable COVID-19 second wave,” he said.
“The Victorian government must pump money into tourist attractions and reward local travel in order to support jobs and our economy.”
Mr O’Brien called on the Andrews government to stump up $300m for a dedicated Victorian tourism fund, which would cover the cost of discounted getaways.
“Initiatives like these will help more Victorians explore our own beautiful backyard, instead of flocking interstate on holidays when borders open up,” he said.
The UK government ran a similar program for the hospitality sector called Eat Out to Help Out which gave diners 50 per cent off their bill, up to a maximum of £10 ($18.40) discount per person.
Under the Road Trip for Victoria scheme, the discount would be automatically available when people book accommodation or a tour package, and operators would later be reimbursed by the government.
Victoria’s tourism industry this week called for a $1.3bn lifeline from the state government, amid research showing 165,000 jobs could be lost by this time next year due to ongoing restrictions.
Tourism and Transport Forum and Victoria Tourism Industry Council joined forces calling for support.
Opposition tourism spokesman David Hodgett said Victorian tourism operators wanted to get back to work and open their doors.
