Omicron variant has arrived in Victoria . There is now 1 known cases of OMICRON in Victoria & at least 2 suspected cases.
Victoria has recorded its first confirmed Omicron case in an international traveler currently isolating in a Melbourne quarantine hotel, while two other cases in the community are under investigation.
Marta Pascual Juanola reports that the community cases, in the cities of Casey and Brimbank, are not believed to be linked to the international traveller.
Authorities have contacted their household contacts who have also tested positive and are trying to determine the source of the infection. Genome sequencing is under way to confirm whether they have contracted the Omicron variant.
Contact tracing was ongoing and would likely lead to more close contacts, authorities said.
