Key facts from today’s Victorian COVID-19 update:

  • Sixty-one new cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) were confirmed yesterday – bringing the total number of cases in Victoria to 355.
  • The new cases include 34 men and 25 women, with people aged early-teens to mid-eighties. Two cases remain under investigation.
  • At the present time, there are six confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Victoria that may have been acquired through community transmission.
  • Currently six people are recovering in hospital, and 97 people have recovered.
  • More than 23,700 Victorians have been tested to date.
