The government said it would increase the number of testing sites, although at this stage asymptomatic people are not being encouraged to get tested unless they have visited exposure sites. Victoria's COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar said "thousands of additional doses of vaccine" would be sent to Ballarat, where 69 per cent of people over the age of 16 have already received their first dose.

Victorian chief health officer Brett Sutton said it was still "hard to say" how many primary close contacts would emerge in Ballarat.
