Victorians who test positive for COVID-19 could get a knock on their door from the military if they don’t pick up contract tracers’ phone calls.

Contact tracing will be dramatically expanded with the help of the Australian Defence Force to ensure all positive cases are contacted within 24 hours of receiving their test result.
