Victoria’s COVID-19 spike continues to grow, recording its highest number of new daily cases since March.

There were 75 new cases, although the total goes up 71 due reclassification of previous cases.

The latest numbers comprise:

  • 14 cases linked to known outbreaks
  • 37 positives from routine testing
  • 23 cases under investigation
  • One case from hotel quarantine

It’s the fourth-highest daily figure since the first case was detected in Victoria.

It comes after about 18,000, which is less than several days, but amid a more targeted approach in Melbourne’s trouble spots.

“Obviously we’re concerned by the upward numbers,” Health Minister Jenny Mikakos said.

She said the new cases were “overwhelmingly concentrated in those priority suburbs”.

Worryingly, Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton warned “I think it (the total daily figure) will get worse before it gets better”.
