Victoria’s health department said it was “most likely” the detections were due to a person shedding the virus after the infectious period, given the current prolonged period of no community transmission in Victoria. But it could also be due to a person living in or travelling through the area in the early active infectious phase, health officials warned. People who live in or have visited these areas – and who have or develop COVID symptoms – are “strongly encouraged” to get tested.
