Victoria recorded six new locally-acquired COVID-19 cases yesterday, two of which were reported by health authorities yesterday.

All six of the new cases have been linked to previously reported cases, but none of the cases were in quarantine during their infectious period.

Three of the cases are linked to the Hobsons Bay cluster, all living in the same household.

The three other cases are linked to the City of Maribyrnong cluster.

One is a housemate of a case and worked as a cleaner at the Epworth Hospital.

The other two close contacts live in another household, one of those a student at Warringa Park Special School.
