“We have decided to expand the zone of primary close contacts from the 61 primary close contacts that we started with,” he said.
The new cases are adult males who live in separate apartments, adjacent to the four other positive cases identified at the complex.
Mr Weimar said it was believed the cases were connected to communal areas, which are “of concern” to authorities.
“We’ve progressively stepped up our public health measures to really deal with any residual infections that we may see in that area,” he said.
Across Victoria, Mr Weimar said more than 7000 primary close contacts had so far been cleared.
COVID-19 vaccines are free. Get vaccinated, folks.
