Face masks remain mandatory outdoors, with social gatherings permitted outdoors with up to 10 people.
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has urged Victorians not to dismiss outdoor settings as possible transmission risks.
'(Masks) still reduce transmission substantially, people move in and out of indoor and outdoor areas all the time, and it is not always easy to judge how close others are,' he said.
Restaurants, bars, shops and beauty services are now open.
On Friday, 20,660 vaccines were administered across the state, with 15,110 Covid test results received.
