Melbourne has recorded three new coronavirus cases linked to the Holiday Inn outbreak, taking the states total to 22. 

All three new cases have been quarantining at home and there is little concern for community transmission. 

Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley says the Government is continuing to locate primary close contacts to the cluster. 

“We had a total of 1507 primary contacts associated with the Grand Hyatt outbreak. We now have around 942 left. We contacted around 350 people yesterday to stand them down,” he said.

Victorian Hotel quarantine workers and airport staff will be some of the first people vaccinated against Covid starting from next week, after repeated instances of transmission from Hotel quarantine has seen the State re-enter lockdowns.
