Mr Hazzard has also announced that weddings will be allowed in NSW once again.
From 12.01am this coming Friday, weddings will be permitted provided that they are limited to no more than five guests.
Victoria records 64 new COVID-19 cases, exposure sites grow
Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley has called on the federal government to send more coronavirus vaccines to the state.
It comes after a record 35,753 doses were administered at the state-run vaccine hubs.
“What we really need is the supply to meet demand now,” Mr Foley said.

“We will continue to ask the Commonwealth for more supply because we know that, with every dose of Pfizer, with every dose of AstraZeneca, that we will end up with more Victorians doing their part sooner to get us out of this pandemic.”
