"Our message to Victorians is we have to stick with it," Victorian Attorney-General Jill Hennessy said at a press conference on Saturday.
"We have been doing so well. It is frustrating and it is with great anticipation people look to perhaps the change or the easing of restrictions, but until that occurs, we have got to make sure we are looking after our own health and well-being and our community health and well-being.
"We are sending a message to Victorians to stick to the advice, stick to the cautious approach."
The message comes as Ballarat continues its testing blitz and many families prepare to celebrate apart this Mother's Day.
We're at a really important juncture.
- Jill Hennessy, Attorney General
In Ballarat, 719 people were tested for COVID-19 on Friday.

The testing blitz continues this weekend in Ballarat in an attempt to collate more data as the state works through the easing of restrictions.

Victoria Police is continuing to enforce lockdown restrictions and conducted 854 spot checks at homes, businesses and no-essential services across the state on Friday.
Sixty one fines were issued on Friday.
Examples of breaches that resulted in fines across Victora included a gathering of eleven people at a park, six people gathered to drink alcohol in a public place, multiple people gathering in private residences and multiple people committing criminal offences.
The number of coroanvirus cases in Victoria has risen by 10 since Friday to 1477.
Four of the new cases are linked to an outbreak at an abattoir in Melbourne's west.
Premier Daniel Andrews will review Victoria's state of emergency on Monday.
Ms Hennessy said until then, 'resist the temptation to let your hair down'.
"We have got to make sure we are looking after ourselves, our family and our community and the only way we do that is by avoiding unnecessary human contact as much as possible and making sure we comply with the restrictions," she said.
"Remember you have a responsibility to not just yourselves, but to other people in your family and your community about potentially spreading coronavirus."
Ms Hennessy said any announcements on the easing of restrictions would be based on health advice.
"We are still awaiting test result data to come back to give us a better understanding around the community transmission risks, that is an important consideration," she said.
"We do understand this is very frustrating and some frustration is building, but ultimately, keeping Victorians safe is what will ultimately guide the decisions that are announced on Monday."
In regards to families spending Mother's Day apart, she said the best thing people could to for their mother's tomorrow was call them and get in touch with them online, while making sure they were making their contribution to keeping Victorians safe.
"We're at a really important juncture," Ms Hennessy said.
"Everyone needs to think about their behaviours in a way that impacts the rest of the community. I hope people can find another way to express the love they have for their mothers."
