Location of central Geelong suburbs in Victoria, Australia, and prior known endemic areas in the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast (higher case numbers dark pink, lower case numbers in light pink). We defined high incidence as >10 cases/100,000 population in 2017–2019. Belmont with the central Geelong suburbs also meets this criterion. SA2, Australian Bureau of Statistics Statistical Area 2.
