All 3,000 residents in Melbourne's nine locked-down public housing towers have been tested for coronavirus.
"The testing will be completed tonight. We will have those results by tomorrow and will let you know what they mean for you," the health department said in a statement late on Wednesday night.
"Until we have those results and develop a clear plan to support anyone who tests positive or is a close contact, you will need to remain in your home."
Support services, food and medical care are still available.
The residents at the Flemington and North Melbourne towers have been in a hard lockdown since Saturday afternoon, unable to leave their apartments due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
Two new cases were tied to the outbreak on Wednesday and four old cases were reclassified for a total of 75 infections.
The lockdown order is in place for 14 days but Premier Daniel Andrews was "very confident" all residents would be tested by Wednesday.
"I again say to every single resident in those towers, you will be under these restrictions for not a moment longer than you need to be," he said.
Occupants of the towers were yet to be given the green light to join the rest of the city in stage three restrictions, which will last six weeks.

They will then be able to leave their homes to get food and supplies, receive or provide care, exercise, and attend study or work if they can't from home.
Despite having a dedicated laboratory to process tests for those in the towers, not all residents have got their results back.
Father-of-five Abdiraham Ibrahim has been waiting since Monday for his coronavirus test result despite his wife's already having come back negative.
"Some other people are waiting four days for the results," he told AAP.
The City of Melbourne has also created its own pandemic plans for public housing towers in Carlton and Kensington.
Other public housing in the state has been deep cleaned and processes, such as the provision of hand sanitiser, double-checked, Mr Andrews said.
