The number of active coronavirus cases in Victoria rose sharply this week, from 110 on Saturday to 183 by Friday, resulting in an unprecedented response from health authorities and politicians. Here's how the week unfolded.

In a single week AFL player Conor McKenna tested negative, then positive, then negative again for coronavirus.He then recorded an irregular test result on the Friday, followed by a positive test the following day.

"What's more common is the test doesn't show that you are positive when you are, in other words, you are carrying the virus but the test doesn't show up that you are," heHe said early on in an infection, a person might not have enough of the virus to trigger a positive result, but as the virus builds it becomes easier for the test to detect.

It came after Victorians this week shared pictures on social media of supermarket shelves stripped of toilet paper.It's a visual display of the panic many Victorians have again felt as a result of the state's increasing coronavirus numbers — but supermarkets have continued to stress there's no chance of food running out.Sanjog Bisda was one of thousands of Broadmeadows residents to be tested during the blitz.

Professor Sutton also acknowledged more needed to be done to ensure coronavirus information was reaching every Victorian, as doorknockers went through Melbourne suburbs to convey the state's message.
