will be forced into a five-day lockdown after Victorian health officials privately conceded that contact tracers took too long to get in touch with people exposed in Melbourne’s new coronavirus outbreak.
“Remember, the initial contact event was on February 3rd and 4th, going back to the 3rd floor of the Holiday Inn and it highlights again, a conversation that we probably had last Friday, which is the rapidity of the transmission. Victoria’s COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar has urged residents of Melbourne’s north and south to be vigilant after viral fragments were found in wastewater in Coburg and South Melbourne.
“And I will not be starting that today. This family needs to put all of its efforts into getting well. That is my message and what is on the record from yesterday stands on the record.”The child who is among today’s two new cases in Victoria is three years old and contracted coronavirus after attending a private family function in Coburg.Authorities have now turned their attention to the child’s mother, who may also have the virus.
That Coburg restaurant has been closed for months. Even has for lease signs up. Walked past myself.
