MCG on alert as cricket fan who went to Australia-India match after visiting Chadstone shopping centre tests positive
Thousands of cricket fans who went to the second day of the Australia-India match at the MCG are being urged to get tested for coronavirus after a fan was diagnosed with the disease.
The man watched the game from zone 5 in the Great Southern Stand between 12.30pm and 3.30pm on 27 December.
About 8,000 fans who were in that zone are being urged to get tested via text message.
The man is a ‘mystery case’ meaning officials do not know where he caught his infection.
Officials do not believe he was infectious at the MCG but want fans to get tested to find out if he may have caught it from anyone else at the game.
The man also visited Chadstone Shopping Centre on Boxing Day from 6am to 2pm, and may have caught his infection there.
