Victoria has recorded 1466 new local Covid-19 infections on Tuesday – four times the amount of NSW – which is celebrating a second day of freedom.
The health department announced the new figures about 9am as the virus continues to spread rapidly across Melbourne and “undiscovered” through some regional areas.
As Melburnians and parts of regional Victoria remain in lockdown for at least another week, people in Sydney are enjoying their second day of freedom after the state reached 70 per cent fully vaccinated. Casey, in Melbourne’s southeast, has emerged as the new leading hotspot for Covid-19 spread in Victoria with the highest number of infections on Monday.
Health department deputy secretary Naomi Bromley said Casey recorded 174 new infections, ahead of Hume with 169.“Pleasingly, we are seeing a stabilisation in Hume,” Ms Bromley said. Health authorities are also concerned the virus could be spreading “undiscovered” through some regional Victorian areas with “repeated unexpected” Covid sewage detections in several towns.
