Mr Andrews has said there were seven new cases of coronavirus diagnosed since yesterday including the case in a student at Melbourne's Keilor Downs College which has seen the school shut today. Three cases were found through routine testing, two were people in hotel quarantine after returning from overseas and two were still under investigation.
One case has been removed from the state's total tally due to a "data issue" meaning the total number of infections now stands at 1634. Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton said the student from Keilor Downs College who tested positive for coronavirus was part of a family cluster announced yesterday, and it seemed unlikely his case was related to that of a teacher working at the school.He was in a class with seven students from other schools . Those students are now quarantined.
