In a late alert on Friday evening, the Health Department said the details of the 20 locations had been urgently added to the state’s growing list of exposure sites and that it was working with the person’s employer to track down contacts.
It comes after health authorities identified five bars and pubs as being exposure sites of significant concern when revealing a new COVID-19 case in Melbourne had caught the virus on a night out.
“If you have been to those locations you have been out partying with somebody who was COVID-positive at the same time, with you in that space,” COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar said on Friday. People who were at the venues should get tested and isolate, he said.
