Authorities in Victoria will spend the weekend closely tracing new cases of coronavirus and send more postcodes into new lockdowns if the crisis cannot be contained. 9News

Last night there were 442 active cases across the state.Super-spreader suspectedAuthorities in Victoria will spend the weekend closely tracing new cases of coronavirus and send more postcodes into new lockdowns if the crisis cannot be contained

"There seems to be a single source of infection for many of the cases that have gone across the northern and western suburbs of Melbourne," Ms Mikakos said. "That might be for a range of reasons, including that they may have already been tested in a different location, we are analysing that data to see exactly why people are refusing, but it is concerning that some people believe that coronavirus is a conspiracy or that it won't impact on them."

Deputy Chief Health Officer Annaliese van Diemen said a super spreader theory was being investigated but there was no "definitive evidence" it had caused the spike. "We don't have a single super spreader per se, but it is one of the epidemiological theories that is being looked at by our team of very experienced epidemiologists," she said.
