COVID live updates: Next 24 hours 'critical' as Melbourne announces new cases, Acting Victorian Premier says - ABC News

Questions from the audience

Hi, just wondering after the cases today, will there be anymore changes to the restrictions on weddings at a private residence, then the current 5 visitors + photographer, and celebrant?

There were no new restrictions announced during that earlier presser, so fingers crossed your big day will go ahead as planned.

However, Acting Premier James Merlino cautioned that the next 24 hours would be "particularly critical".

"The message this morning is it's good that everyone is linked at this stage but we are concerned about the number and also about the kind of exposure sites and the next 24 hours are going to be critical if we're going to have to make further changes beyond the changes we announced yesterday."

As a reminder, you can find the latest exposure sites right here.

So... what is the timeline of all this? When did case 1 test positive? Would it be possible to see a diagram or graph with the dates?

Authorities believe "case one" was actually the fifth case to be confirmed.

The Whittlesea man in his 60s returned a positive result yesterday morning, and later that afternoon four of his family contacts also tested positive (they make up those five cases that were reported on yesterday).

He first displayed symptoms of coronavirus on May 17 and got tested on May 24. He met with a man in his 30s — known as case one in this cluster — on May 18. 

This is where health officials believe the virus was passed on from case five to case one.

In the following days, case one passed on the virus to four members of his household, including a pre-school child, a grandfather in his 70s and a woman in her 70s (those four cases were announced on Monday).
