Jeroen Weimar estimates about 45 per cent of Victorians catching the virus in homes are socially interacting with other households.Victoria has recorded 779 new locally acquired COVID-19 infections and two further deaths as a result of the virus.Some 34,280 vaccine doses were administered across Victoria in the 24 hours to Saturday evening. More than 46,000 virus tests were conducted in the same period.Meanwhile, the city of Geelong is poised to learn its lockdown fate.
Of 7611 active cases tallied up to Friday evening, 321 were in hospital with 65 in intensive care and 45 on ventilators. "As is equally partnering with the private sector to make sure that other urgent work that would be done in the public sector can be done in the private sector."
Very unprofessional man,,
VIC and NSW have same number of new cases today but Vic only did 1/2 as many tests to get these results. Is this a concern?
Short sharp lockdown and the ring of steel working their magic
Allow larger numbers to congregate outside. It would be so much safer and satisfy people’s social needs. There wouldn’t be a need then to go to others households to get that
Anyone can explain the estimate?how did they come to this conclusion?
I wish people would just do what they're supposed to be doing and stay home! The number of cases would go down to at least a manageable level. The more people who socialise (or riot) the more it spreads. What's so hard to understand? FFS do the right thing!
No shit
So is Dear Danny going to separate families so everyone lives alone? The virus is here to stay so everyone has to learn to live with it! How long can you isolate people?
Imagine this - that inter state sniping and blaming wasn’t a thing, and listening and learning from each other was. Literally the same reasons for transmission in Vic occurred in NSW and we’re supposed to be surprised ?
Report testing of sewerage water treatment plants, that will indicate the scale of the COVID problem ?
👮♀️Israel failed with 2 jabs! Started so called 3rd and 4th booster jabs. Africa is doing better as they are taking artemisinin. India and Japan started Ivermectin! Who is collecting money from the vax ? Vax is positive related with infection! Time to have alternate treatments!
Need accelerate vaccination strategy, not dwell on other measures that are ineffective against delta and other aggressive variants ?
Wild idea - how about stop locking ppl up in their homes for 2 years and letting them socialise outdoors 🤯
🚨SBS News is subjective in almost every article. Don’t trust their journalists.
Maybe try a short, sharp, seven-day, circuit-breaker lockdown?
C’mon DanielAndrewsMP … you’re clearly on the path to introduce pre 1989 European style communism in Victoria. Capital punishment was part of these regimes. Then Victorians will follow the bloody rules.
Authorities estimate…

Oh stupid people mingle? How novel.
Ummm so how would you fix that? Perhaps no outdoor restrictions
I would rather believe the possum in my backyard than him.
Maybe allow people to meet outside where the virus transmission is less likely?
No need to estimate, it’s a fact. Ppl are not follow the rules
How many are vaccinated with sniffles?
Vic Government public health advice on lockdowns has not stopped spread of the virus and has only succeeded in stopping the democratic right to protest.
Insanity is repeating the same thing while hoping for a different result
Prepare for door welding
No shit Sherlock.. Maybe the likes of jeff_kennett MatthewGuyMP sophieelsworth TimSmithMP should be held to account for their endless undermining of health orders and encouragement of lockdown breaches. They've contributed to this! MurdochRiots LNPDisgrace CovidVic
You only have to look outside and compare the traffic to know this.
No surprise at all…
This is the pattern which occurred in Sydney. There is no magic in how the invisible virus spreads. Unless you consider Nature's awesome power and complexity to be magic.
Hey Daniel, i thought u said steel of ring.... Why isn't it work ...pls explain?
More police are needed then, in the suburbs which are evading the law!! Australia is a Commonwealth, not a cheat-for-wealth. Any one who is evading the law, to lessen the common good. Is in-Australian, and must be held accountable!!! auspol
If anyone in family and friends have long lasting headaches, runny nose, aches and pains please isolate them, get tested yourself if they won’t. Call NurseOnCall 1300 60 60 24 if they refuse to believe it could be Covid19. There is no flu in Australia this year. Covid19Vic
It’s here to stay. Get jabbed. Get used to it. The days of 0 cases are over.
