The Villa Maria Catholic Homes Bundoora resident was taken to hospital with a body temperature of 39 degree at the weekend.
"As this is a symptom of COVID-19, the resident was tested, with the initial test results being inconclusive ," a VMCH spokeswoman said in a statement."The Department of Health is currently treating all inconclusive results as positive. As a result, the entire residence is now in lockdown until the Public Health Unit advises us this can end."
The resident has returned to the facility, displaying no symptoms. Further tests found the resident to produce a negative result for COVID-19. However, the Department of Health has requested two more negative tests, to be undertaken 48 hours apart, as a precautionary measure.
