Victoria has recorded eight new coronavirus infections since yesterday, including a doctor who worked across three clinics in Melbourne while potentially infectious.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) said the doctor had worked at Lilydale Medical Centre, Croydon Family Practice and Cedars Medical Clinic in Coburg while asymptomatic.
"The doctor did not have any symptoms at the time and went into isolation immediately upon being informed they were a close contact of a confirmed case," DHHS said.
"As the doctor is asymptomatic, the risk of transmission is low, however if anyone is experiencing any symptoms they should get tested and self-isolate."
The male GP worked at Lilydale Medical Centre on June 11 and at both the Croydon Family Practice and Cedars Medical Clinic on June 9.
The department notified patients who physically attended the clinics before alerting the public.
Six of the new cases were detected in mandatory hotel quarantine, while the other one person is a household contact linked to an outbreak at the Rydges on Swanston hotel cluster.
More to come.
