Chief executive Elaine Mallows said there had been eight new cases in Yarrawonga on Wednesday, all household contacts who had been in isolation, but the only way to catch the cases was through increased testing.

"We'd be hoping that if things stay as stable as they are currently, then we may be looking to reopen our community services in a week or two," she said.

"We're still testing anywhere between 130 and 180 every day so I think the community here in Yarrawonga have taken it very seriously and they've responded really well, but I guess as these things drag on it's important that complacency doesn't creep in and those testing numbers stay up.
