Four new cases of COVID-19 have been detected in Melbourne
Two men, a woman and a preschool-aged child, all relatives, have tested positive in Whittlesea, in the city's north.
Health Minister Martin Foley said it does not appear there was no incubation 'crossover' period with the city's last community case, the man who was diagnosed post-quarantine in Adelaide.
He said did not rule out a link between the cases.
Anyone who was at Jump Swim School Bundoora on May 21 between 8.35am to 10am, and Highpoint Shopping Centre on May 20, 5pm to 8pm, should be tested.
Testing hours will be extended at major sites.
