Potential super-spreading event in Melbourne has authorities concerned after it was reportedly attended by a COVID-infected guest.
A video posted on social media shows up to 100 guests crammed inside a room inside a Caulfield North home last week, in breach of Melbourne's lockdown laws.
According to the Herald Sun, a mother and her son from St Kilda East, with one believed to have attended the engagement party last week, returned a positive test on Saturday. "Many people will have seen a video from the engagement party circulating. I have. There are people in it that I know & I am speechless," he said.
