Acting chief health officer Ben Cowie revealed the “unexpected wastewater sample detections” in the Camberwell area on Thursday morning.“People in the Camberwell region, if you have the mildest of symptoms, please go and get tested for Covid-19,” he said.
The health department said the wastewater detection could be due to someone who had Covid-19 but was no longer infectious and continued to shed the virus – or it could be due to an active but undiagnosed case in that area. “The wastewater testing program is designed as an early warning system, and a cautious approach is always taken when these detections are found,” the department said.
