Victoria recorded 22 new coronavirus cases on Monday after COVID-19 commander Jeroen Weimar warned the number of mystery infections emerging in the community is not a 'good sign'.
Victorian health officials on Sunday issued a stark warning as contact tracers raced to find the source of its mystery infections.
"I don’t know what our position will be on Thursday, but these are not good signs," he said on Sunday. Premier Daniel Andrews said stay-at-home orders could remain in place for months to prevent cases escalating to the hundreds, as seen in New South Wales."I'm determined to make sure that this doesn't happen here. I know no one's enjoying this. But what's worse than this is, well, being locked up until the end of October, or indeed the end of November because that's how long it may well take to get 80 per cent of people through the vaccination program.
