Victorians still flouting self-isolation as state records 450 new cases, 11 deaths

Mr Andrews said ADF personnel knocked on the doors of 1150 Victorians on Thursday to ensure those people were self-isolating properly."They have been referred to Victoria Police," Mr Andrews said.

Nearly 1000 healthcare workers currently have the virus, with the Premier imploring Victorians to follow lockdown restrictions "to protect themselves, but also to protect our dedicated healthcare team". "To date, there are 1527 confirmed cases in healthcare workers. That's 139 more than yesterday. And there are, currently, 911 healthcare workers who are active cases," he said.A woman in her 50s, two men in their 70s, three men and three women in their 80s, and two women in their 90s died overnight.Victoria was on course for awhen the state government imposed its stage three restriction in early July.

Acting Deputy Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng said on Thursday that the rate of infections had been growing 10-fold every 10 days when the government stepped in to reimpose the lockdown and that without action, new cases might have reached 20,000 a day by August 12. The Monash University epidemiologist said he hoped to see the present rate of daily infections, which reached a record high of 725 on Wednesday, begin to drop in the coming days as the mandated use of face masks and the stage four lockdown announced on Sunday begin to take effect.that indicated 27,000 new cases of the killer virus might have occurred in July instead of the 8300 reported diagnoses, if the growth rate had continued unchanged.

I find it unbelievable. What is the matter with people? This is the first time for decades that we’ve really needed to pull together. NZ did it. We are clearly lacking. Sad. It just means more jobs and lives will be lost and the country will go deeper into debt.

COVID was the cause of death? or they just had COVID when they died? or they had symptoms of COVID at the time of death?

Put the home detention anklets on them!!! Track them and fine them. Gaol if necessary on Christmas Island. Ffs do something!!!!!!

Gonna look stupid when that doesn’t work. Then What.

There will always be another hop spot until vaccine, seems we need live with COVID ?

Lets not pretend people cannot be traced to within 1m of their mobile device. Just ask google, facebook or a dozen other apps for their current & historical locations

DanielAndrewsMP's Socialist gov't has done nothing to slow the infection trend since beginning of June. Incompetence on steroids. DanMadeDisaster JoshFrydenberg theboltreport RitaPanahi credlin chrissmithonair CraigKellyMP
