There are now 31 cases connected to Hazeldene's, the Department of Health and Human Services data shows, an increase of one from Sunday.
While Greater Bendigo has seen an increase of four cases overnight, the number of active cases has fallen from 49 on Sunday to 47 on Monday.
This could be because people have recovered from the virus or cases have been reclassified.
No other municipality in central Victoria recorded a new case overnight, although Macedon Ranges and Mount Alexander shires each recorded a drop in the number of active cases.
There are currently 80 active cases across the region.
