Victoria has recorded 8162 new cases and 20 Covid deaths in the past 24 hours.
There are now 441 infected people in Victorian hospitals, with 67 in intensive care and 14 on ventilators.
However, the figure is dwarfed by the 1583 Covid patients in NSW hospitals.
More than 93 per cent of eligible Victorians are fully vaccinated and the state has 50,967 active cases.
A total of 16,146 PCR tests were taken on Wednesday and 10,930 vaccines were administered at state hubs.
Victoria is considering winding back the use of QR codes after the state heavily minimised its contact tracing system late last year.
Premier Daniel Andrews announced the potential shift on Sunday, saying the codes’ function was “under very active review” after the state reached its peak of the Omicron wave.
“It’s been tough, really challenging,” Mr Andrews said.
“QR coding is not being used for the purpose of contact tracing, because there is no contact tracing.
“What it’s used for at the moment is to validate if a person has a green tick.”
