Two Virgin flights in and out of Melbourne have been added to Victoria's list of COVID-19 exposure sites as health authorities try to stop the spread of cases from the latest outbreak.

A person with COVID-19 flew from Sydney to Melbourne on Virgin Flight VA808 between 7:00am and 8:35am on August 2.

The person then joined a connecting flight from Melbourne to Launceston on Virgin Flight VA1364 between 10:35am and 11:42am.

Both flights are now listed as tier 1 exposure sites, which means anyone who was on the planes must get tested and isolate for 14 days.

Terminal Three at Melbourne Airport has also been listed as a tier 3 exposure site.

Yesterday, authorities also added several new venues in Melbourne's west, including the Aldi supermarket at Central West shopping centre in West Footscray, and Kmart in Paisley Street, Footscray.

A number of stores within Highpoint shopping centre were also added to the list yesterday afternoon.

Check the table below to find all the sites and exposure windows.

You can find information on testing site hours and the nearest site to you on the Department of Health's website.
