Two Catholic schools in Sunbury have been closed as a precaution after two further cases of COVID-19 were found at a quarantine hotel on Tuesday.
Text messages sent to parents, seen by The Age, confirmed that Salesian College and nearby St Anne’s Primary School would be closed to students and staff on Wednesday as a coronavirus precaution.
The text message does not specify why the closure is required.
The government revealed the cases late on Tuesday, with a number of exposure sites revealed late into the night.
A worker and a returned traveller tested positive for coronavirus at Melbourne Airport’s Holiday Inn on Tuesday, forcing anyone who had worked or stayed on an entire floor into isolation and prompting a further review of the state’s hotel quarantine system.
The case is the third from the Holiday Inn in less than a week and the fifth in less than a fortnight across three Victorian quarantine hotels. Three of those cases are confirmed to be the more infectious British variant of COVID-19.
The Health Department updated its list of exposure sites late on Tuesday night with seven venues in Sunbury, including Cellarbrations and several stores in the Sunbury Square Shopping Centre.
Anyone at those venues at the specified times must get tested and isolate for 14 days.
