All new locally acquired cases today are linked to existing outbreaks. Eight are existing primary close contacts who were quarantining during their infectious period.
There are now 94 active cases across the state.
The lockdown in that state continues.
Update: 8th June
Victorian officials have finally linked the current mystery Delta variant outbreak to a returned traveller from hotel quarantine.With assistance from the Doherty Institute, all known positive cases have been checked against the genomic sequencing for the cases in this cluster.
It was confirmed today that a match was found between a returned traveller who entered hotel quarantine in Melbourne on 8 May and this cluster.
Further investigations are underway to see if any contact can be established between the returned traveller and these families.
There’s currently no definitive understanding of where any transmission events may have occurred but all possibilities are being investigated from the plane to travel to the hotel.
