The two people boarded a Virgin Australia flight from Sydney to Melbourne, after arriving into the country earlier today and foregoing quarantine in NSW. They are now in mandatory quarantine in Victoria.
"A comprehensive public health response is underway, including testing this evening and full contact tracing," the statement said.
Anyone who travelled on VA 838 departing Sydney at midday and arriving in Melbourne at 1.25pm should immediately quarantine at home and contact DHHS on 1300 651 160 for further information.
In addition, authorities are advising anyone who has been at Melbourne Airport's domestic terminal 3 this afternoon is advised to monitor for COVID-19 symptoms, and to seek testing if symptoms develop.
Melbourne Airport is not a current risk to the public and people may continue to visit the airport, in line with current restrictions DHHS says.
