Victoria has recorded five new locally acquired cases of coronavirus as the state enters its second day of a snap lockdown.
The five new cases were detected from 56,624 test results processed on Friday, an apparent record for the state.
The outbreak linked to Melbourne's northern suburbs had grown to 30 cases yesterday. Further information about whether the five new cases are linked to the cluster is expected later today.
There are now 45 active cases of COVID-19 in the state, which includes another two recorded in hotel quarantine.
