Victoria's top health officials have defended the state's testing and contact tracing systems as two new cases linked to the Holiday Inn outbreak were reported, taking the Melbourne cluster to 16.

The new cases - a three-year-old child and a woman from a separate household - attended a family function at a private venue on Sydney Road in Coburg last weekend. They have been isolating since 12 February.
