Victoria has recorded 19 coronavirus-related deaths for the second consecutive day and 331 new cases.

There are hopes the state's coronavirus case numbers are finally stabilising after a month of rapid escalation, but Victorians have been warned to brace for further deaths.

Again, today's figures were released via Twitter.

The death toll today equals yesterday's record high of 19.

The figures come as Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews gives evidence at the public accounts and estimates committee on his government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
