“This is a significant awareness variant,” Victoria State Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton told reporters in Melbourne. “The fact that it is a variant variant with other cases it means not related, in terms of transmission, with these cases.”

Sutton said this new variant had not been associated with Covid-19 infection which was sorted throughout Australia from the quarantine hotel or elsewhere.

“It is a concern that it is not associated with other cases but we pursue all the main case contacts … and see where it might be obtained,” Sutton said.

The Delta variant was detected in two members in the family traveling to neighbor New South Wales (NSW) two weeks ago while the possibility of contagious and visiting several popular tourist locations in the state.

Sutton said it was “within the possibilities” that the cases could be contracted Delta variants in NSW but more tests would be needed.

Victoria, the second-most solid state of Australia, struggled to contain its latest outbreak – 64 cases since May 24 – after more than three months there were no cases, placing difficult restrictions on the movement of people and turning off most of its economy. The government has connected all cases with one traveler released from quarantine after a negative test.

Melbourne experienced a hard streak of the second week after being extended for a week until June 10, but some diversion elsewhere subsided in the state of Thursday night.

The authorities blamed the extension of the difficult sidewalk in Melbourne on the Kappa variant, first detected in India, which they described as contagious strain, although new cases remain in one digit for eight consecutive days.

Four new cases obtained locally reported on Friday, versus three days earlier.
