23.01.2022 Sunday, 20 September 2020 Coronavirus update for Victoria Victoria has recorded 14 new cases of coronavirus since yesterday, with the total number of cases now at 20,042. ... The overall total has increased by eight due to six cases being reclassified. This is the lowest number of new cases since 19 June, when we reported 13 cases in the past 24-hour period. Within Victoria, 12 of the new cases are linked to outbreaks or complex cases and two are under investigation.
