Victoria has recorded no new local COVID cases beyond the two positive results announced yesterday that were linked to the Sydney outbreak, while Queensland recorded two new cases of community transmission.

In Victoria, a Melburnian from Oakleigh, aged in his 60s, who caught the virus in Sydney where he went to visit his daughter tested positive on Thursday.

Officials believe he contracted the virus at a ‘super spreader’ birthday party with 30 others in Sydney’s West Hoxton on Sunday, and there are now 11 cases linked to the event.

He returned to Melbourne on a busy Jetstar flight from Sydney on the weekend at a time when the Sydney suburb he had stayed at was still considered a “green zone”. His co-worker at Sandringham Dry Cleaners also tested positive.

The second man’s family has been isolated, and there is contact tracing underway.

These two cases are listed in Friday’s official cases, with the dry cleaning businesses listed as a Tier 1 exposure site for 21-23 June.

The Melbourne Airport-Oakleigh public transport services have also been listed to the list of exposure sites, with train stations at Flinders Street, Broadmeadows and Oakleigh on the list.

Victoria has declared Greater Sydney, the Central Coast, Shellharbour, Blue Mountains and Wollongong as “red zones” under its travel permit system. People from these areas will not be able to travel to the state without an exemption, and returning Victorians can come home provided they self-isolate.

Victoria has just come out of its fourth lockdown and a number of restrictions eased in Melbourne and the rest of Victoria from 11.59pm on Thursday night.

People across the state can have up to 15 visitors to their home, up from two in Melbourne and five in regional Victoria. Hospitality venues can serve up to 300 but density limits apply and funerals and weddings are now capped at 300 people.

Masks are not mandatory outdoors, but are still enforced at indoor settings outside the home.

Offices in Melbourne are allowed 75 per cent capacity or 30 people, whichever is greater.

The Sydney limousine driver, who tested positive for the Delta strain, and his employer at the centre of Sydney’s latest COVID outbreak may face criminal charges after failing to comply with transport orders requiring masks and vaccination.

He is believed to have been infected while driving a foreign aircrew.

In Queensland, the two new cases of community transmission were close contacts related to the Portuguese Family Centre in Ellen Grove in Brisbane’s south-west in a cluster linked to hotel quarantine.

Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said they were in quarantine during their infectious period, so not a risk to the public.

“We now have seven cases related to that cluster, related to the lady that came from Portugal,” she said.
