VICTORIA’S long run of days without COVID-19 community transmission was broken just before the new year when a case was recorded in Mentone.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced on 30 December that three new cases had been identified in Mentone, Mitcham, and Hallam.
As of 11 January there are five active cases of COVID-19 among residents in the Kingston local government area.
The DHHS has also included multiple local locations on their list of COVID-19 exposure sites.
People who visited the Woodlands Golf Club bar in Mordialloc on 28 December between 4.40pm and 5.15pm were asked to get tested and isolate for 14 days. A positive COVID-19 case had attended the clubhouse bar. Visitors to the golf course between 12pm and 6pm on that day were asked to monitor for symptoms.
