In a letter to employees, the company stated it would communicate directly with co-workers who were in close contact with the infected staff member.

"We are committed to informing you as soon as we become aware of these cases," the letter read.

An educator at Nino Early Learning Adventures in Bundoora has also been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The staff member did not attend the centre this week, the company manager confirmed in a letter to parents.

"I would like to reassure you that we have taken immediate action as soon as we became aware of the situation," Melinda Ackerman said.
