UPDATE: A rapidly growing coronavirus cluster from a Melbourne shopping centre is spreading into regional Victoria, plunging the exit from lockdown into jeopardy.
The owner of the Oddfellows Cafe, in Kilmore, confirmed the employee’s diagnosis on Facebook, saying they were “devastated” and “angry” in a series of posts.
Oddfellows Cafe owner Kim Short took to social media to reveal her heartbreak at being contacted by health authorities on Monday and told a positive case from Melbourne had dined there. “I am devasted to announce that late this afternoon we had the dreaded call from DHHS to say that one of our staff members who was in contact with the customer on Wednesday has tested positive to COVID-19,” she wrote.
