The health service issued a statement about the active case that the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services listed in its daily report on Tuesday, bringing Moira's tally to 12.
"All follow-up contact tracing is being undertaken by the Department of Health and Human Services," a spokeswoman said.
"The person did not present to Yarrawonga Health for testing and is not known to YH.
"This means that the individual may have been tested at another testing site or via a GP clinic."
Chief executive Ellaine Mallows urged anyone in the community with even mild symptoms - fever, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, runny nose, and loss of sense of smell or loss of sense of taste - to call (03) 57438132 to arrange a test.
"My message today is simple, get tested if you have symptoms, wear a mask if you are out, and please, if you can stay home, you must stay home," she said.
"We must work together to help stop the spread and protect our community.
"We have seen the distressing consequences of uncontained community transmission and it is time to work together as a community to do everything we can to help stop the spread."
