Health Minister Martin Foley has revealed a staff member at a testing site has tested positive to COVID-19 after being infectious in the Victorian community for two days.
The new infection was not included in Wednesday’s case count which included only eight new cases as the state exited 12 days of tough stay-at-home measures.
All of Wednesday’s cases were linked to the current outbreak and were in isolation for the entirety of their infectious period.

The Greater Sydney lockdown will be extended by at least four weeks, with a raft of new rules set to come into place.
Authorities have confirmed the current stay-at-home orders for Greater Sydney - including the Central Coast, the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour - will remain in place until 28 August.
It comes as New South Wales announced 177 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases and one further death.
“It was fairly obvious, given the way the numbers were going in the last few days, it would have not been possible for us to get out of lockdown tomorrow or Friday,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters on Wednesday.
