A GRPHU spokesperson 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,” the 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 is now 13 active cases in the Gippsland region.
