Victoria's Chief Health Officer has urged people who have been in any of three areas that recorded positive COVID-19 wastewater samples to get tested if they have symptoms, no matter how mild.

Affected areas include Altona and its surrounding suburbs, as well as Benalla and Portland.

Professor Brett Sutton has urged residents and visitors to Altona and suburbs such as Altona Meadows, Laverton, Point Cook and Sanctuary Lakes between Monday, November 16 and Wednesday, November 18 to continue to come forward for testing.

Residents and people who have visited Benalla and Portland between November 15 and November 17 are also urged to get tested if they have even the mildest of symptoms and to isolate until they get their result.

Interstate truck drivers entering Victoria from South Australia are also being asked to get tested in response to that state's COVID-19 outbreak.
