Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has gone into in isolation after being at an event with a positive COVID-19 case over the weekend.
Mr Andrews has taken a test and is now awaiting results while following current health advice.
He had started his Christmas holidays just five days ago.
According to current Victorian guidelines, social contacts of a positive COVID-19 case are required to isolate until they receive a negative test result.
It comes as Victoria records its highest daily COVID-19 caseload since October, with 1,622 new cases reported on Thursday.
More potential Omicron cases are being investigated in Melbourne, with about 30 people suspected of being infected by the COVID-19 strain around the state.
Mr Andrews went on extended medical leave for about four months earlier this year, after he slipped and fell on wet stairs at a Sorrento holiday home, breaking several ribs and fracturing his T7 vertebra.
