Victoria has recorded no new local COVID-19 cases for the second day after a Melbourne man tested positive.
The man's infection has prompted returned travellers on a South Australian hotel quarantine floor being ordered into another two weeks of isolation.
He tested positive on Tuesday after returning from India via the Maldives and Singapore on April 19 and completing 14 days of hotel quarantine. The group includes 10 South Australians who will be given the option to quarantine at home if deemed suitable.Prof Spurrier stressed most medi-hotel staff working at the time of the suspected leak had undergone daily testing, although five still need to be followed up.
It came as Victorian health colleagues scrambled to track down hundreds of fans who went to last Friday's AFL match on the same train as the infected Wollert man.
