Victorian authorities have warned against complacency as testing numbers drop despite a new mystery COVID-19 case emerging overnight. 9News
Victoria Health Minister Martin Foley has revealed the state's new case is a "City of Melbourne" resident.Investigators are still trying to determine the source of transmission.
Mr Weimar has urged Victorians to keep getting tested and to not dismiss potential COVID-19 symptoms as "winter sniffles". Health teams are also continuing to work with the Reservoir family cases, and with the Melbourne couple who have tested positive to COVID-19 in Queensland. That would link the case to the Arcare Maidstone, Reservoir, and Queensland traveller COVID-19 cases.More than 4000 close contacts have been allowed to leave quarantine.
"There are a number of those Tier Two exposure sites that I'd ask people to check and it goes back to the conversation from earlier that we believe there are other branches that may be out there that we've not yet discovered."
