'No changes': Melbourne's restrictions remain in place as state records seven new COVID-19 cases

Mr Andrews said six new cases in the northern suburbs meant the cluster had grown to 39 cases across 11 households, and more test results needed to be processed before restrictions were eased across metropolitan Melbourne.

Mr Andrews said he hoped to be able to announce an easing of restrictions by Tuesday, once he was confident the northern suburbs outbreak was under control. About 250 tests of first-ring close contacts, those who had direct contact with known cases, were tested on Saturday. On Sunday, another 60 were expected to be tested, mostly from the East Preston Islamic School and Croxton special school which will remain closed this week.. Anyone with links to the school, even if they were not showing symptoms, have been being urged to get tested.

"If we're going to find any more cases, that is the area where we are most likely to find them. The purpose of the wider community testing approach ... [is to test] workers at the schools but also anyone remotely symptomatic in the suburbs to get tested."

Totally crazy and over done

No announcement while we wait for results, actually. A couple more days.

What a disaster.

Governments and media won’t want it to ever end, it is their lifeblood, their dramas and soap operas, their paydays.

There were significant announcements re regional Vic. And you missed the part where we’re waiting for 1000s of results and then can likely make announcements on Tuesday (ie in TWO DAYS).

🤡

Misrepresentation of what was said, actually.

Victoria records seven new COVID-19 cases; four cases linked to Preston, one a studentThe health department is urging all East Preston Islamic College and Croxton School families and staff to get tested after seven new cases emerged in the state, including four in the northern suburbs. “Urging” just won’t cut it. The entire Victorian state shouldn’t have to remain in permanent lockdown because a select group of people refuse to provide accurate info to contact tracers, social distance, sanitise and isolate when ordered to. They need a tailored solution Many people switch off from media and COVID overload now, rather focus on economic recovery?

Daniel Andrews rejects suggestions lack of translators behind Melbourne school clusterVictoria on Saturday reported seven new cases of coronavirus, four of them in suburban Preston and one is a student from East Preston Islamic College. But nobody is questioning channel 7s failure to understand that the 10 person rule is between TWO households, not just 10 people.... I think a lack of appropriate media awareness is more of an issue. The Islamic cluster, version 4.0
