The state’s virus record last peaked on Monday, when 532 cases were announced.
The human cost of Melbourne’s aged care crisis has been laid bare in a heartbreaking photo of a body wrapped in a rug being wheeled out of a nursing home.
Medical workers covered in protective gear on Wednesday were pictured moving the body from the virus-stricken Epping Gardens Aged Care Facility in Melbourne’s north and into a van.
The home has been linked to 86 cases – with 27 staff and 59 residents have contracting the coronavirus – and two deaths.
More than 950 cases of COVID-19 have been linked to aged-care facilities, with active outbreaks across 87 separate centres, as 295 new cases were recorded across the state on Wednesday.
Former chief medical officer Brendan Murphy said Epping Gardens is the facility authorities are most worried about in Victoria.
He said the ADF was called in on Tuesday night after the majority of the workforce had to go into quarantine.
