Victoria's public health doorknockers arrived on the streets of Melbourne's COVID-19 hotspots on Wednesday, attempting to overcome barriers in communication with some communities.
One of the new cases was a student at Keilor Downs Secondary College, triggering all students, families and staff to attend a specially-established testing centre at Melbourne Showgrounds. "We need to make sure we get to people at their doors. It's about having a conversation with the community" The "army" of "hundreds and hundreds" of doorknockers will expand across the other hotspots areas of Hume, Casey, Moreland, Cardinia and Darebin in the coming days, according to Premier Daniel Andrews.Asked if the government should have engaged with multicultural groups earlier, Professor Sutton said it was a focus from the start of the pandemic but was a "complex process".
Professor Sutton added that many people use social media from their country of origin or friends as their primary source of information. Professor Cheng warned some tiny minority ethnic communities may consequently be falling through the cracks.
I'm not letting them near my door... furthermore, I'll be asking them why they are telling me to be safe when its anyone over 50 who should be worried...
A true nanny state, here citizens have little self control and responsibilty.
No masks!
Dan Andrews needs to step down, through his pig headedness, Victoria has become out of control!
A bit late ,the horse has bolted.
Seems like multicultural slavism is a problem afterall. They could kill Australians.
Why translation book? They do english test for immigrants right? And you need to get certain points so you can come here. Or this rules is not applied for all countries ?
Treating us like a Chinese state .
What a waste of time and re souses. This lock down is a joke. Driven by political urge for power.
Total control, thats what is all about....
