The DHHS said fragments were detected in a large catchment area, stretching from the north-western suburbs to the outer north-east between April 4 and 12. Detections were also made in Cranbourne and surrounding suburbs between April 6 to 12. Anyone who visited the affected areas, and is suffering any symptoms of COVID-19, is urged to get tested.The department said the viral fragments may be present in the sewage because of an active infection in the community, or because of continued viral shedding after an infection. The two new detections are in addition to the Ringwood area that was announced on Monday.
