COVID numbers continue to climb in Mildura, with another 54 cases reported on Sunday.

This number was a slight drop from previous days, after Friday recorded 73 new cases and Saturday 67.

Mildura had a current rate of 683.1 cases per 100,000. However, this was quite low compared to the rest of Victoria. About 75 per cent of the state’s councils had higher COVID rates per 100,000.
