78 cases have been confirmed and 2 people have died in the current Victorian outbreak.

Those at greater risk include people over 40, smokers, and those with chronic lung disease, weakened immune systems, or conditions like heart and liver disease.

As a precautionary measure, the department has organised cooling towers in the area to be disinfected and cleaned.

The CDC released the update on Thursday regarding the outbreak last year.
