Victoria
has recorded 11 new local coronavirus cases, including two infections
at an aged care facility which were announced yesterday.
More than 24,000 test results were carried out.
A "testing blitz" is underway at the Arcare Aged Care facility in Maidstone after a resident and a nurse tested positive to COVID-19 on Sunday.
"Arcare
is saddened to advise that we have two new cases of COVID-19 at our
Maidstone residence," a statement from the facility read.
"One is a 79-year-old resident who lives in close proximity to the first two residents diagnosed.
"The second is an agency registered nurse who last worked at the residence yesterday."
The
resident, who had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine, is asymptomatic but
will be transferred to hospital for public health reasons, coordinated
by the Department of Health.
