A Shepparton resident has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home.
Goulburn Valley Health chief executive Matt Sharp confirmed the news online.
He said contact tracing was current underway and would be a primary focus of the health service's public health unit.
Mr Sharpe said details about community locations of concern would be provided once the information is known.
"Anyone identified as a close contact will be contacted directly by the tracing team," he told residents.
"Exposure sites will be published during the day as more information becomes available."
Mr Sharp urged anyone in the community who feels unwell or has any COVID symptoms to get tested immediately and stay at home until they received the results of their test.
"Do not go about your normal day to day activities such as work or going out in the community," he said.
"Please do the right thing and do not place your family members, friends, colleagues and the broader community at risk."
Goulburn Valley Health's acute respiratory clinic at Graham Street is open.
Two additional drive through testing sites are being established and are expected to open later today.
