Premier Daniel Andrews on Friday confirmed two of the new cases are "low positive results".
"Further testing and examination is underway to determine whether they are in fact false positives," he said.
The two remaining cases are also under investigation to see if they are linked to known outbreaks.
The four cases are in the local government areas of Brimbank, Hume, Greater Dandenong and Wyndham but it is unclear which are the false positives and which are linked to known outbreaks.

Victoria's chief health officer Brett Sutton said one potential case travelled "in and around Deer Park" and recommended all residents to get tested at 106 Station Street between 9am and 4.30pm.
No new deaths were reported on Friday, with the state's death toll remaining 819 and the national figure at 907.
