Relief for Victoria as nearly every worker at high-risk Melbourne Airport cafe tests negative to Covid-19 – but cluster grows as busy bus and train routes are put on alert
The latest Covid-19 case to hit Melbourne is a friend of an infected Holiday Inn worker, with 20 active cases now in Victoria as the state enters a brutal five day lockdown.
Speaking on Saturday, Victorian premier Daniel Andrews said the latest case found late on Friday is a Point Cook man in his thirties – with 38 of the man’s close contacts now in isolation.
Mr Andrews also said 11 of the 12 workers at Melbourne Airport’s Brunetti cafe had tested negative for coronavirus – easing fears over an infected staff member who worked an eight hour shift.
‘That is very significant given they were at the highest risk of exposure, given their proximity to the infected coworker,’ Mr Andrews said.

New exposure sites announced on Saturday include Coates Hire at Werribee, Caltex Woolworths at Hoppers Crossing, the 901 bus route from Melbourne airport to Broadmeadows, the Craigieburn line from Broadmeadows to Glenroy station, and the 513 bus route from Glenroy station to Eltham.
