The new case brings the total number in the region to 15.

In surrounding Local Government Areas, Mitchell has six active cases, while Campaspe, Strathbogie, Moira and Benalla don’t have any.

There are 509 active cases in Victoria.

Currently there are 25 people with COVID-19 in hospital, and three in intensive care.

The death toll remains on 20, as no new deaths have been reported overnight.

In the wake of today’s increase, two additional Melbourne postcodes have been locked down, and nine public estate towers face a “hard lockdown” in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
