The state Premier, Daniel Andrews said: “We have ambulances and other vans that will literally be at the end of people’s streets.
“We will see these case numbers go up in coming days.”
The state also has 200 of the country’s 270 coronavirus cases.
Overall, the country has recorded 104 deaths from the virus combined with 7,500 infections.
With the number of cases rising in the state, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has insisted safeguards remain to stop the spread getting out of control across the country.
