Regional Victorians are this morning waking to eased COVID-19 restrictions.

The five reasons to leave home have been lifted in regional areas, with schools to re-open and businesses able to operate under the COVID-19 settings in place before lockdown was announced.

It comes after no COVID-19 cases or exposure sites were identified outside of Melbourne.

Meanwhile, the number of exposure sites in Melbourne has grown to almost 250.

New sites were added overnight in: Cairnlea, Taylors Lakes, Caroline Springs, Bayswater North, Burnside, Deer Park, Altona North, St Albans, Preston and Heidelberg.
