Where are Victoria's active coronavirus cases?

Suburbs in Melbourne's north-west have been some of the hardest hit by COVID-19.

Victoria has recorded 191 new cases of COVID-19 overnight, bringing the total number of active cases in the state to 772.

Of those, 438 cases may indicate community transmission.

But where are they?

The Department of Health and Human Services has mapped Victoria's coronavirus cases by local government area (LGA), with most centred in the north-western suburbs of Melbourne.

Hume has the highest number of active cases in the state, with 145.

Hume, in Melbourne's north-west, includes the suburbs of Broadmeadows, Craigieburn, Dallas, Mickleham, Roxburgh Park, Jacana and Kalkallo, which are all under lockdown.

Wyndham, to the south-west of Melbourne, has the second-highest number of active infections, with 105. Suburbs in Wyndham are not currently in lockdown, but stage three restrictions will be reimposed there, along with the rest of metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, from Thursday.

The inner city of Melbourne has 97 active cases, including in the suburb North Melbourne where some public housing towers have been subjected to a hard lockdown.

Overnight, 13 new cases relating to the North Melbourne and Flemington public housing towers were recorded, bringing the total number of cases in those communities to 69.

The LGA of Brimbank has 77 active cases. It includes the locked-down suburbs of Albanvale, Kealba, St Albans and Kings Park, as well as Taylors Lakes, Keilor Downs, Keilor Park, Keilor Lodge and Watergardens.

Moonee Valley has 50 cases and officials have locked down the suburbs of Airport West and Niddrie, as well as the Flemington public housing towers.

Moreland, which includes the locked-down suburbs of Brunswick West, Fawkner, Glenroy, Oak Park and Hadfield, has 38 active infections, while Whittlesea has 36, including in the locked-down suburb of Donnybrook.

Twenty cases are listed as being in "unknown" locations.

The inner-west area of Maribyrnong, where the locked-down suburbs of Kingsville, Maidstone, Tottenham and West Footscray are located, has 16 cases.

Casey, to the south-east, and Melton, to the west, both have 20 cases apiece and are not subject to lockdowns.

The inner-city areas of Yarra and Darebin have 19 and 16 cases respectively, while Hobson's Bay has 17.

Port Philip has 12 active cases, while Monash, Banyule, Boroondara and Manningham have recorded eight, Mitchell and Whitehorse have seven and Stonnington six.

The LGA of Knox has four cases, while Maroondah and Greater Dandenong each have three, and the Yarra Ranges and Bayside have recorded two.

Some regional areas, including Greater Shepparton, Greater Bendigo, Latrobe, East Gippsland and Wodonga, have just one active case, as do the LGAs of Frankston, Kingston and Nillumbik.
