But Epidemiology Chair at Deakin University, Professor Catherine Bennett, told news.com.au “don’t be thrown” by the record number of cases.
“What we’re doing as part of lockdown won’t impact the daily numbers now but it does stop the next outbreak from starting,” Prof Bennett said. “The thing that stands out to me when I look at all these numbers objectively, are the 249 new active aged care cases and another 164 that were linked cases,” she said.
In comparison, linked cases have hovered between 34 and 82 cases in the last couple of weeks, except for one day last week when 154 cases was recorded.
Huge numbers because of uselessly slow contact tracing combined with 800 infected people not staying home. Victoria's contact tracing like Fire Brigade responding to Fire Emergencies 1 week late. By time they arrive, Fire has spread all over neighbourhood
