Almost 100 people have been caught breaching self-isolation rules, according to Victoria’s Health Minister Jenny Mikakos.

Before overseas arrivals were forced to quarantine in hotels, they were expected to isolate in their homes for 14 days.

Police have continued to check up on those supposed to be quarantined, finding that more than one-quarter were not.

As part of the spot checks, according to Mikakos, 99 of 391 returned travellers were not at home.

She said it was “incredibly disappointing”.

“Those individuals are putting their fellow Victorians at risk,” Mikakos said.

“It’s really important that they understand that, since last Sunday, we have now been quarantining return travellers in hotels, but for those who returned prior to the start of those changes they are still required to self-quarantine for the full 14 days.

“No exceptions.”

Individuals found breaching self-isolation rules have been threatened with fines of more than $1,600 in Victoria.

The revelation came as Victoria announced its eighth death from coronavirus, as well as 30 new cases.

A woman in her 70s died in a Victorian hospital on Friday after spending several days there receiving treatment.

Mikakos declined to elaborate on whether the woman had any underlying health conditions out of respect for the family.

There are currently 1,115 cases of the virus in the state, with ten people requiring treatment in intensive care units.
