About 900 close contacts of the Prahran Market in South Yarra have been thrown into quarantine after the market was yesterday listed as a Tier One exposure site for Saturday July 17, between 9.40am and 11.15am.
Coffee Shop, Market Lane Coffee, located inside the market, has also been singled out as an exposure site between 10.30am and 11am on the same day.
The Prahran Market revealed the news on Facebook on Wednesday night.
"DHHS advises us that the customer visited a number of traders including Pete n Rosie's Deli, Q le Baker, Prahran Seafoods, John Cester's Poultry and Game, Gary's Quality Meats, Reliable Fruit and Veg and Market Lane Coffee," the post read.
"Due to the broad geographic spread of the traders, DHHS has taken the step of classifying the whole of Prahran Market as a Tier 1 exposure site."
All staff and customers who attended the market during the exposure period will be tested and be required to quarantine for 14 days.
The market was closed yesterday for deep cleaning and will reopen when it is safe to do so.
"We are devastated by this news and our thoughts and well wishes are with all of our traders, customers and the Market community as a whole."
