Most Victorian coronavirus carriers not isolating after falling ill, getting tested

"I'm equally saddened to have to report that 53 per cent - or 2056 of those 3810 cases - did not isolate - that is, did not stay at home and have no contact with anybody else - between when they had their test taken and when they got the results of that test," Mr Andrews said.coronavirus numbers"Unless we have people who get tested staying at home and isolating until they get their results, then we will not see these numbers come down," he said.

"What we want to do is try and drive down the number of days between when people first get sick and when they get tested," Mr Andrews said. Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton said isolating when first developing symptoms was of utmost importance."You're actually most infectious in the first couple of days of your illness," he said.

"You're probably not that infectious after seven days. So getting tested very early on and isolating right at the beginning is a really key action.Professor Sutton has dismissed suggestions that Victoria's contact-tracing team is not large enough to handle the state's coronavirus crisis.An army of more than 2000 people are working on contact-tracing in Victoria."We could get through 1000 cases if we had 1000 cases today.

Are people really here blaming media? If you’re being tested for ANY contagious illness/disease you should stay away from others until your results are received 🤦🏻‍♀️ common sense people

And thanks to these pricks hence why the numbers continue to increase.

Are the Vics just thick? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why would we when the media is deceiving us?

Really saddening to hear there are lots of selfish people who only lives to hurt others.

They’ve got to live with themselves. 🙏😷🦠 Make wise choices during a pandemic please.
