VICTORIA will stay in lockdown until at least July 27.<\/p>\n

Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed the lockdown extension of at least seven days on Tuesday, hours before it was originally flagged to end.<\/p>\n

The state recorded nine new locally acquired cases of coronavirus on Tuesday and a total of 13 new local infections in the previous 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Four of the 13 cases were previously announced by authorities.<\/p>\n

Twelve of the cases are linked to the current outbreaks of the Delta variant in the state, which originated in NSW, while one case remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

Nine of the cases were in isolation during their infectious period.<\/p>\n

Two of the four reported cases are linked to an outbreak at the restaurant Ms Frankie in Cremorne, while two are household contacts of a person who contracted the virus at the Geelong-Carlton game at the MCG on July 10.<\/p>\n

All four were isolating throughout their infectious period.<\/p>\n

The state also recorded two cases in hotel quarantine, bringing the total number of infections to 96.<\/p>\n
