The City of Casey is increasingly an area of concern for officials.
Speaking to the media on Friday 24 September, Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said there had been an “uptick” in the south eastern suburbs in recent weeks.
Earlier this week, the ground floor of a business complex at 68 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren, was named a tier 2 exposure site multiple times.
