BREAKING: Victoria has recorded 92 new local cases of Covid-19 on Sunday as residents await an announcement on whether the state’s sixth lockdown will be extended beyond September 2.
The Department of Health confirmed the figure on Sunday morning, advising 61 of the 92 cases could be traced to existing outbreaks.
A total of 51,030 tests were conducted in the past 24 hours, while 31,436 vaccine doses were administered.It comes as Covid commander Jeroen Weimar said a new “cluster of concern” had emerged on Saturday, a Woolworths and car wash on Plummer St in Port Melbourne, with four cases confirmed so far. Mr Foley also issued a plea to Melburnians in non-hot spot suburbs in Melbourne’s southeast to come forward for testing due to local wastewater detections.
The areas of concern included Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Bonbeach, Carrum, Chelsea, Chelsea Heights, Edithvale, Mordialloc, Patterson Lakes, and Seaford. The state’s lockdown is tipped to end on Thursday, but that was looking unlikely with multiple mystery cases still unsolved.
