A new positive COVID-19 case was identified in Latrobe City today.

The Gippsland Region Public Health Unit (GRPHU) said only people who visited a Tier 2 Exposure Site only during the specified times are to get tested and stay home until they receive a negative result.
“Tier 2 premises have either had confirmed cases visit during their infectious period or are sites where a confirmed case may have acquired their infection,” A GRPHU spokesperson said.
“This does not mean there is an ongoing risk associated with the premises. You can safely visit the site in line with current restrictions.”
There are a number of testing sites available on Monday.
