The cases are currently being investigated by the Barwon South West Public Health Unit.
The local community are working proactively with South West Healthcare to limit transmission.
"All people who have been tested are isolating and teams across multiple services are working to support people in their homes by delivering food and essential needs, particularly Kirrae Health Service," SWH chief executive Craig Fraser said
"We will not be commenting on specific people or households.
"The local community have been very proactive in getting vaccinated over recent months which provides a level of protection to much of the community, including additional vaccinations this week."
In recent days, SWH in collaboration with Kirrae Health Service have provided a pop-up testing clinic that has resulted in over 30 people being tested this week.
SWH continue to test people in this community at their homes.
"We are working with local communities and their leaders to ensure local responses occur to provide the best possible outcomes."
