THE DEPARTMENT of Health Victoria confirmed on Wednesday morning that Victoria had recorded seven new cases of COVID linked to the recent outbreak in New South Wales.

One of the positive cases attended the Blues-Cats clash, with those situated on level two of the MCC members' reserve and in attendance between 4-8pm deemed Tier 2 contacts.

They will be required to get tested and isolate until receiving a negative result.

A handful of staff and patrons at the match are expected to be made Tier 1 primary close contacts and will be contacted by the Department of Health.

All other fans who attended the match outside of the affected area have been asked to monitor for symptoms of COVID-19.

The AFL has been working with venues this season to ensure QR code check-ins upon arrival to provide further data. Since round six, fans attending all matches in Victoria have been required to submit contact details linked to their seat when purchasing tickets.

Please check the Department of Health's website for more information about potential exposure sites.
