MILDURA'S lockdown will be extended for another week, Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley announced on Friday morning.

It came as Mildura recorded another 34 cases on Friday – more than any other regional area – taking the LGA's total active case count to 188. There were 2179 new locally acquired cases in Victoria on Friday and another six lives lost to COVID-19.

In NSW, there were 399 new cases and four deaths. Three of the new cases are in Dareton, which now has 21 active cases.

The lockdown across the Mildura Rural City Council area is now expected to end at 11.59pm next Friday, October 22.

More to come.
