    One of Victoria's biggest coronavirus clusters came from a Muslim family who broke public health orders to celebrate the end of Ramadan.

    The state has had 128 new cases of COVID-19 in thepast week, with 20 cases and a death recorded on Wednesday.

    A gathering in Coburg, north of the city, lastmonth has been linked to at least 14 cases across multiple households.

    The party was to celebrate Eid - the end ofthe Muslim holy month - on the weekend of May 23 and 24.

    Attendees were in breach of Victoria's lockdownmeasures, which at the time prohibited households from having more than fiveguests.
