Just one new locally acquired case of coronavirus has been recorded in Victoria after another big day of testing.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) said two new cases were also confirmed in hotel quarantine, taking the number of active cases in the state to 41.
DHHS said 37,509 test results were received yesterday.
Health authorities have added new locations to the list of potential exposure sites linked to the outbreak.
Footwear and clothing stores, The Nike Company, in South Melbourne, and Culture Kings, in Russell Street in Melbourne's CBD, were added on Tuesday night.
Authorities said a person with coronavirus shopped at The Nike Company between 12:00pm and 12:45pm on December 30, and at Culture Kings between 1:00pm and 1:30pm on the same day.
Tamarind 8 restaurant in Narre Warren was also added to the list after a person with the virus bought takeaway from the venue between 6:30pm and 7:00pm on December 30.
The list of exposure sites has been getting updated regularly on DHHS's website, and has now grown to more than 100 venues.

Review of return to work schedule welcomed
Unions and business groups have welcomed the Victorian Government's decision to review the state's return to work schedule in light of the outbreak.
Public servants were to begin a phased return to work on January 11, while private sector businesses were going to increase from 25 per cent to 50 per cent capacity.
The Community and Public Sector Union has backed the review, and Tim Piper from the Australian Industry Group said it made sense, especially for businesses in Melbourne's CBD.
"The CBD has different circumstances, they've got public transportation issues, they've got elevator issues, and they've got more people than we see in suburban and regional offices," he said.
More to come.
