Protester among 12 new Victorian virus cases.
Victoria's chief health officer is not convinced coronavirus was spread at Black Lives Matter rallies, despite a second protester testing positive to the virus.
Professor Brett Sutton confirmed the young woman tested positive to COVID-19, after attending the June 6 rally in Melbourne's CBD, but it is "very unlikely" she contracted it there or passed it on to others.
The woman was one of 12 new coronavirus cases in Victoria on Monday, bringing the state's total to 1732.
