Residents in the border town of Mildura have rushed to get tested after the regional centre recorded its first coronavirus case in 15 months, sparking concern for the local Indigenous community and other vulnerable people yet to be vaccinated.
Mildura became the third regional area to record new cases connected to the current outbreak after cases were detected in Barwon Heads and on Phillip Island, prompting the state government to cast doubt on an early end to the lockdown for regional Victoria.
The number of exposure sites at Phillip Island grew to more than 20 on Sunday, after a group of friends visited for several days last week. Two of them later tested positive for COVID-19. A primary close contact of one of them tested positive on Saturday.
Masks are again compulsory indoors in Victoria, as the state s number of new COVID-19 infections continues to grow.
From Thursday, anyone aged over 12 will be required to wear a mask in all indoor settings, including schools and workplaces, unless an exception applies.
Masks must also be worn outdoors when social distancing isn t possible.
