Victoria has recorded 11 new coronavirus cases and no deaths as authorities keep a close eye on an outbreak at a major Melbourne shopping centre.

But 31 cases have now been linked to a butcher shop at Chadstone Shopping Centre, causing concern for health authorities. Two people in Kilmore, located 60km north of Melbourne, have also tested positive to COVID-19 after a case connected to the outbreak dined at the suburb's Oddfellows Cafe.The health department wants anyone who visited the cafe during the period to get tested even if they don't have symptoms.
