Coronavirus live updates: Australian Open players test positive to COVID

Two of Victoria's new coronavirus cases have been revealed as Australian Open players but confusion around who has the virus is rife.

Two Australian Open tennis players have tested positive to coronavirus.

Victoria's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) confirmed the positive tests in a statement tonight.

One non-playing participant, linked to the Australian Open, also tested positive.

This means there are seven positive cases now linked to the Australian Open.

The new cases are one female in their 20s and two males in their 30s."While two cases of viral shedding were confirmed yesterday, this does not change broader assessment of the player group in hotel quarantine," DHHS said.

"As yet, none of the three affected flights have been cleared as a result of the two reclassified cases."

Victoria has now gone 13 days with no locally acquired case but continues to see new cases in hotel quarantine.
