Melbourne reports another 20 cases of coronavirus as caravan parks turn away tourists from COVID-19 hotspots
Victoria has reported another 20 cases of COVID-19, as caravan parks turn away holidaymakers ahead of the school break.
The latest number of infections comes after the state recorded 17 cases of coronavirus on Tuesday.
Three caravan parks on the Great Ocean Road have announced they will cancel bookings from travellers who reside in COVID-19 hotspots.
The six hotspots have been identified as the local government areas of Hume, Casey, Brimbank, Moreland, Cardinia and Darebin.
A statement shared to websites for the Lorne Foreshore, Torquay Foreshore and Anglesea Family caravan parks said the cancellations would apply to all bookings up until Monday July 13.
'We will not be lifting these restrictions until the Victorian Government advises that community transmission in these areas is under control,' the statement reads.
'We will update this information as required, in order to add or subtract an area that is identified by the latest government information.
'We regret that we have had to make this decision, but we must do everything we can to protect our staff, visitors and small coastal communities at this time.'
