  • In Bendigo, the Mulcairs Lane Railway Crossing construction site in Goornong is listed for a week, dating back as early as September 17, and the Lake View Hotel is listed across four days
  • In Geelong, a number of stores have been identified, including in Norlane, Corio, Lara and Grovedale
  • In metropolitan Melbourne, a chemist in Mickelham and a pizza shop in Watsonia have also been listed.

Anyone who has visited a tier 1 site during the listed exposure period must get tested and isolate for 14 days.
