The eastern (Victoria Street) section of the facility, which the individual accessed from 9am to 2.30pm, was closed late yesterday for cleaning and disinfection work.
The City has contacted all tenants, contractors and employees who attended that section of Geelong Arena during the potential exposure period.
Tenants who enter via Baxter Road can continue to use the separate western section of the facility.
