By Brittany Chain For Daily Mail AustraliaPublished: 21:54 EDT, 5 June 2021 | Updated: 22:53 EDT, 5 June 2021An urgent alert has been issued after Covid was 'unexpectedly' detected in the sewage systems of 10 suburbs across Melbourne where there are no active cases. Victoria's Department of Health issued the alert on Sunday morning for suburbs across inner west and north Melbourne. Residents in the suburbs have been urged to remain on high alert and seek Covid testing immediately if they develop any symptoms - no matter how minor. But the Department of Health is urging the public not to panic, suggesting the uptick in Covid in the sewage could be linked to older cases. The new cases bring the total number of active cases in the state to 85, with 72 linked to the Melbourne cluster which prompted the snap lockdown.
