QLD Update: 6 cases found associated with the school case yesterday - all 5 cases in one household + the tutor for the student , expected to be the index case.
From 4pm today there will be a lockdown in 11 LGAs. 10 km restriction. Until 4pm on Tuesday.
Origin of cases is 2 cases in HQ.
Sounds like the harshest lockdown ever implemented in QLD. Hang in there guys.
The impacted areas of South East Queensland include:
Unless itâs linked to the case of the testing worker
Oh wow. Bad news for Queensland. Hopefully itâs a short one.
Obviously seeing with whatâs happening in Sydney⌠Going hard and fast is the way to go.
Brisbane thread is now reopened
Governments seem keen on the idea of locking out non-jabbed people from participating in certain things (concerts, sporting events etc, but iâd expect it broaden to more mundane things too) - it will be interesting to what impact that has
So the new Vic case in the community was actually another traffic controller who shared a vehicle with the index case. He has been isolating since Wednesday and has a very small infectious exposure window, which is why the Doncaster supermarket is the only exposure site listed. All other staff at the testing site have returned negative tests.
Hopefully @Pranks can have the conclusion they jumped to back after that news.
Thought the big where he carpooled might have come out earlier, but I guess if the colleague didnât return another positive itâs a moot point and could cause unnecessary concern for someone who would have been isolating anyway
Big business to step in where the government has failed.
The other new case in Victoria was a personal close contact in the Newport apartments in Melbourneâs west who was visited by the index case (traffic controller). All remaining 30 residents at the apartments had returned initial negative tests.
So no need to put him in jail?
Vic CHO brett sutton said there is a reasonable if not high level of cofidence that the mooney valley testing site traffic controller picked it up from there. likey from a postive case going through there
Vaccination numbers ticking up as expected, now at 19% (eligible pop) across the country. WA is the lowest of the states and territories.
I am actually surprised that QLD is in lockdown, didnât see it coming.
The 1,000-bed facility could be operational in 2022.
Does anyone know what happened to the first person visited by the three removalists when they came to Victoria a few weeks ago? I heard that he was wearing a mask and initially hadnât caught covid but I havenât heard anything since.
Not much more to add, he wore a mask and didnât catch covid. I donât think he can be blamed for the behavior of the removalists.
Oh I wasnât blaming him, I was just hoping he didnât end up getting covid because it would be great example for other states with lax mask rules.
