After authorities ramped up testing in Epping following a mix-up with the vulnerability sites for a positive case who returned to Melbourne earlier this month.
Experts had listed the Woolworths at Epping when it should have been the Woolworths at Epping North.
Authorities were still waiting for test results, on Sunday, from three people linked to that exposure site, while 10 others had returned negative results.
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton, on Friday, reported traces of COVID-19 had been identified in the Epping and Wollert area and urged residents with the slightest symptoms to get tested.
To provide more information the Health authorities are expected to hold a press conference this afternoon.
