A Melbourne aged care facility has reported two additional positive cases of COVID-19, both yet to be announced in the state's official numbers.
An aged care resident and a worker at the Arcare facility in Maidstone returned positive tests to the virus today.
"Arcare is saddened to advise that we have two new cases of COVID-19 at our Maidstone residence," a statement from the facility read.

"One is a 79-year-old resident who lives in close proximity to the first two residents diagnosed.
"The second is an agency Registered Nurse who last worked at the residence yesterday."
The resident, who has had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine, is asymptomatic but will be transferred to hospital for public health reasons, coordinated by the Victorian Department of Health.

The employee has received the first dose of the vaccine and is also asymptomatic.
All team members who worked at Arcare yesterday are isolating and will get a COVID-19 test.
The aged care home is undergoing a coronavirus "testing blitz".
The cases have not yet been factored in to the Victorian Government's official numbers for June 6, which reported two new locally-acquired cases.
When asked about the Arcare statement, Victoria's Deputy Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng said he was "aware" of the cases but the details had not yet been fully confirmed.
