The likelihood of an early reprieve from lockdown for regional Victoria has diminished with the discovery of a new positive COVID-19 case in Mildura, on the NSW-Victorian border, on Sunday morning.
Health authorities have said a man in his 30s from the town, 540 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, has tested positive today, and they believe he was at the MCG for the Carlton versus Geelong match in the MCC members area on level 2, which is an area of concern.
The Mildura case is in addition to the 16 new local cases announced earlier on Sunday morning and will be included in tomorrow’s numbers. The health department has declared new exposure sites at two Melbourne CBD bars and some bus lines across Bacchus Marsh in light of the new cases.
