More North Melbourne Primary School families sent into isolation

More students and families from North Melbourne Primary School have been sent into 14-day isolation following Monday’s new positive case at the school, as health authorities seek to put “a ring of steel” around the city’s West Melbourne cluster.

More than 300 members of the school community had already been identified as primary close contacts and directed to isolate, but Deputy Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng said on Tuesday that number had increased following“I understand that all of the tier-two contacts at North Melbourne Primary have been upgraded to tier one and that’s because the case that was diagnosed yesterday is in a different grade to the two students that were diagnosed first,” Professor Cheng said.

“We feel we’ve got a really strong field of control and multiple rings of control around the West Melbourne outbreak,” he said.
