A total of 152 people on Russell Island off the coast of Brisbane were tested for COVID-19 yesterday after a woman who lives there tested positive yesterday.
"Given the population Russell Island is about 5000, that is a very good, swift response from the community there and we thank them for that," Deputy Premier Steven Miles said. Yesterday's positive case was a woman, aged in her 60s, who travelled to and from Russell Island via ferry multiple times while potentially infectious.
A fever clinic was immediate set up on the island and residents are being put on high alert and urged to get tested if they develop even the mildest of symptoms.
9NewsSyd He is a moron - locking us up as prisoners because he stuffed it all up..how come all the other states got it right except Victoria
In the meantime businesses will grind to a halt with thousands out of work !!
9NewsSyd Seems Dan has plenty of support from brainwashed union members and scared boomers. The other 99% of the state are under house arrest for a virus with an over 99% survival rate.
9NewsSyd His a disgrace he caused all of this with his hopeless HQ
Absolute lunacy for a virus with 99% survival rate. This is not about health. People should revolt together
The sky is falling. 😂😂
wj_du So there you have it. Essentially 7 more weeks of stage 4 lockdown and no way of achieving the target of 5 cases over 14 days after building sites, schools and child care open up and we have 7 weeks of protests.
Danny’s road map for Victoria
makesomenoiseaustralia
This is shameful. Surely the people of Victoria will not tolerate this violent and unnecessary assault on their basic human rights and freedoms and livelihoods, for a virus with an IFR of 0.06%.
Good common sense
Confused is the 5km rule lifted
IStandWithDan
So retail is shut down indefinitely until we get below 5 cases. year 3 to 10 not going back at all. NSW were getting double digit cases for 2 months were going to school since April & retail is open. Hes so hell bent in getting to zero. Something that is not achievable anywhere.
And no resistance from the puppet media. EnemyOfThePeople
