Victoria records three new locally-acquired coronavirus cases believed to be linked to Sydney outbreak

Three people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in Victoria.

A spokeswoman for the State Government said the cases were being treated as locally acquired and were not in hotel quarantine.

The three new cases are from Mentone, Hallam and Mitcham and are believed to be linked to the Sydney outbreak.

The Government spokeswoman said the three people would be retested.

The cases and all close contacts have been told to self-isolate.

Victorian authorities expect to release a list of potential exposure sites soon.

The new cases bring to an end Victoria’s two-month COVID-free streak of locally-acquired cases.

More to come.
