New COVID-19 case in the Wimmera

The absence of new COVID-19 cases in the Wimmera has come to an end, with updated figures revealing Northern Grampians Shire has had a fresh occurrence.

Case details are based on residential addresses given at the time of testing.

The new case, the first recorded in the Wimmera for more than a month, takes Northern Grampians cases to four. Three previous cases in the shire are now inactive.

Cases across Victoria increased by five overnight, three of which were detected in returned travellers in hotel quarantine and one through community testing unrelated to any known outbreak.
