National news paper The Australias says cases to move above 1100 a day ahead.
Victorians face weeks of higher coronavirus infections, with average daily cases to peak at 1100 by the end of next week and staying above 1000 for eight days.
The Victorian government's own estimates, obtained by The Australian, show the average number of new cases is not expected to decline until the last week of August.
It will remain above 300 a day even as the restrictive stage-four lockdown is scheduled to end in mid-September.
