Seven of those are connected to the cluster at the Holcim quarry site at Tarrone, near Warrnambool, says South West Healthcare.
Chief executive Fraser clarified the total number of cases associated with Warrnambool since the pandemic began in March.
He said a change from five to 11 on Monday and then 14 on the DHHS website today was likely due to reclassification.
"I think they became aware yesterday of the total number of cases we've had here since the start of the pandemic, so there was a bit of confusion about that," he said.
There remains one active case in Moyne.
Glenelg Shire has had no new increases, remaining at five.
Numbers in Colac Otway Shire continue to fall at 39.
There are 151 cases in Greater Geelong, 38 in Bendigo, 22 in Ballarat, six in Moorabool, six in Surf Coast Shire, three in Golden Plains and three in Horsham.
Yesterday there were 159 cases in Greater Geelong, 44 in Bendigo, 24 in Ballarat, four in Moorabool, five in Surf Coast Shire, three in Golden Plains and three in Horsham.
Source of quarry coronavirus outbreak still unknown but numbers 'stable'
Update, 3.50pm: The Warrnambool district quarry cluster remains stable at seven active cases but its origin is still unknown, says South West Healthcare.
Infection prevention coordinator Dr Mark Page said while it's not known where the first worker at the Tarrone Holcim site picked up the virus from, almost every worker and close contact has been tested and is now isolating.
Results are still pending.
A quarry worker is still in intensive care at the Warrnambool Base Hospital in a stable condition.
"Now when we've got local cases it becomes even more important to get tested if you have symptoms, be conscious of hand hygiene, wearing a mask and physical distancing," Dr Page said.
"In any cluster outbreak there's always concern but the contact tracing team we believe have been able to isolate all those exposed.
"There's never that 100 per cent guarantee but we feel at the moment that it's contained and we will continue monitoring and remaining vigilant."
The hospital is testing 12 to 15 patients a day for the virus.
"With the current cluster at this point in time we still only have seven cases but we're still monitoring 11 people across the south-west," chief executive Craig Fraser said.
"Most of the contact tracing is near completion but we are still awaiting testing so we're not out of the woods ever, the key message is the only way to avoid this virus is to treat everyone like they have it.
"We're not aware of where the first worker got it from."
Contact tracing is being conducted by Barwon Health on behalf of DHHS.
SWH is conducting clinical tracing.

Mr Fraser said SWH is looking into conducting at-home testing for vulnerable members of the community.
Mr Page said calls for regional Victoria to go into stage four restrictions were not yet founded.
"They're very difficult decisions and there's so many things that go into the decision to go into lockdown, such as health deferment concerns, economic concerns as well as the virus concerns," he said.
"At the moment we've got a very small number of cases and there's no signs our current restrictions are failing but things can change quickly."
Numbers in Victoria continue to decline with 216 new cases, 12 deaths
Earlier, 12pm: Victoria has recorded 216 new cases of coronavirus and 12 deaths in the last 24 hours.
All the deaths are linked to aged care and include three men in their 70s, four women and one man in their 80s, and three women and one man in his 90s.
There are 675 Victorians in hospital, with 45 in ICU and 29 on ventilators.
There have been more than 2.8 million tests processed, an increase of 16,109 since yesterday.
There are 82 more mystery cases with an unknown source.
Of the 7155 active cases in the state, 1065 are healthcare workers and 2050 in aged care. Five of those are in public aged care settings and 2045 in private centres.
There have been 120 outbreaks in aged care.
There are 79 active cases in the disability sector, 19 in transfer and 60 at NDIS services.
Premier Daniel Andrews said more than 25,000 Victorians had accessed the Upskill My Business program and launched a new business mentoring program helping businesses navigate the viruses presented by the virus.
The program will match small businesses and sole traders with experienced professional mentoring support.
The Premier said $1.3 billion had been provided to businesses in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire.
19,500 people have accessed the $450 test isolation payments, at a cost of around $6.5 million.
6900 workers have been paid the $1500 Commonwealth coronavirus payment, at $10.4 million where they have tested positive or been in close contact and had to isolate for 14 days but didn't have sick leave to fall back on.
WorkSafe have visited 724 workplaces and issued 64 notices.
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said Wednesday was usually a "spike" day and he was encouraged by the drop in cases.
"It's a figure slightly less than yesterday, it's a good sign," he said.
"Testing numbers have gone down and we don't want people to be missing out.
"Active cases are down by 119 today, the numbers in aged care are stabilising and people in ICU and on ventilators are stabilising."
He said people shouldn't underestimate the ability for a second wave to get out of control, citing countries like France and Israel battling large second wave outbreaks.
"We shouldn't underestimate the second wave but to be on the downslope is a really good sign and speaks to the fact we are doing very well in relative terms," he said.
"This wave different and complex which makes it difficult to get on top of."
He said the less cases seen in households, the less will be seen in workplaces and schools.
