Just one Victorian postcode — in Melbourne’s west — has 10 or more active infections.
On a day when 15 new cases and no deaths were announced, Leader’s analysis of Department of Health and Human Services postcode data found just nine Victorian postcodes have more than five active infections.
But the virus returned to postcodes 3148 (Broadmeadows, Dallas, Jacana), which had four new cases overnight, and 3044 (Pascoe Vale, Pascoe Vale South), which had one positive test.
