Department of Health and Human Services Testing Commander Jeroen Weimar has revealed 400 people were instructed to self-isolate for 14 days after a student tested positive for the virus in Victoria.

The student, who attended East Preston Islamic College, was confirmed positive on Wednesday, resulting in the rapid closure of the entire school for deep cleaning.

Mr Weimar said, "as the premier said, our expansive approach … means that we’ve now identified 73 close contacts at the school”. “They and their households have all been asked and instructed to self-isolate and quarantine for the next 14 days. That is a total of around 400 people," he said. “We have provided some alternative accommodation options for all of those families."
