"The police presence will gradually reduce over the next few days and as of Tuesday, the dedicated border operation with more than 300 police will come to an end.
"After that point, Victoria Police will use its local resources to patrol the border to ensure ongoing compliance with the permit conditions.
"100 police resources originally earmarked to work at the state border will be redeployed to Operation Guardian to patrol the metro regional border.
"The remaining 200 resources will return to their original place of work or to assist with COVID-19 enforcement operations."
Victoria recorded 1838 new cases of COVID.
