THE Latrobe Valley has today recorded a second active case of coronavirus.
Today’s confirmed case is the 11th recorded in the region and features among the 317 new cases of COVID-19 across Victoria in the past 24 hours.
The 317 cases represents the largest one day increase in cases in Australia since the pandemic began.
It means there are 12 active cases throughout the Gippsland region with three in Bass Coast, Baw Baw and South Gippsland, two in Latrobe City and one in East Gippsland.
28 of the new cases are linked to outbreaks and 289 are under investigation.
The total number of cases recorded across the state is now at 4750, with 2128 cases currently active.
Two new deaths have been reported since yesterday – both men in their 80s who died in hospital.
To date, 29 people have died from coronavirus in Victoria.
More than 1,170,300 tests have been processed.
Victoria’s chief health officer, Professor Brett Sutton today said the state may not have hit its peak.
“It’s a big number, it needs to turn around,” Prof Sutton said.
“In some ways, I expected it to turn around this week.
“But as I always said, it’s no guarantee.
“It is on all of us to be able to turn this number around.”
