COVID cluster linked to Melbourne restaurant grows to 10 as two further cases detected
Two new cases of coronavirus have been linked to a Thai restaurant in Melbourne’s Black Rock, taking the total number of cases in the cluster to 10.
Key points:
- Contact tracers believe it is likely the cluster is linked to the New South Wales outbreak
- Victoria will close its border to New South Wales from 11:59pm tonight
- Victorian health authorities are urgently ramping up testing capacity to meet a massive surge in demand
A Victorian Government spokesperson has told the ABC the two cases were at the restaurant on December 21, which authorities are currently treating as the starting point of the outbreak.
The two people then travelled to Lakes Entrance on December 28 and 29, before heading onwards to Bega and Bermagui in New South Wales.
