It comes as infectious disease experts across the country call on authorities to lock down coronavirus hot spots across the state.
Professor of Hospital Infection and Infectious Diseases Control at the University of New South Wales Mary-Louise McLaws said Victoria was experiencing a resurgence of “epic proportion”. Griffith University School of Environment and science professor Hamish McCallum said Victoria was “clearly” in the midst of a second wave of coronavirus.
“Quarantine hotel workers were not adequately trained in infection prevention and the quarantined travellers were not cleared prior to release,” he said.Meanwhile, South Australia has scrapped a plan to lift all its remaining border restrictions next month amid the spike in coronavirus cases in Victoria.
“At this stage, we cannot possibly lift that border on the 20th July as we were hoping to do.” Mr Marshall said the decision would also mean any AFL teams coming into South Australia from Victoria would be required to isolate for two weeks, as well as any returning SA teams that played in Melbourne.
Done
Yes. China was very effective in closing down localized hot spots.
New South Wales cases have increased in the past, yet Gladys wasn't recieving much flak as Andrews since she is representing a conservative party. I am not surprised by that after her poor response to Ruby Princess!
10000 tests a day... Tests '99%' accurate = 100 false positives a day... This is Treason.
But the lock down didn't include all the hotspot suburbs. What happened?
Mandatory testing required
Please close the nsw border GladysB pronto.
No!
Too hard to police, ok at Kalkallo just stop them at freeway. But overall too hard. We are getting close to the number we had when state went into lock down anyway.
Better then yesterday glasshalffull
I thought News Corpse undermined the original lock downs.
victoria is officially fucked because of the boneheads who wont do the right thing. you get what you deserve
to lock whole state so hotspot ppl won't travel before the lockdown
Lol I think another BLM rally should fix it. It cured the virus for a couple of days there.
Lock the problem areas down early....if you don't we may end up having to lock whole states and the nation down......how is that fair.
no
Hydroxychloroquine...
Yep They’ll be locking the whole state in a month (or less) otherwise
There hasn't been a death since May 23rd anywhere in the country!!!
Basket case DanielAndrewsMP
Don’t forget you count initial tests & retests on the same person as 2 positive tests. You diagnose Covid through a video appointment without ever seeing or testing patients. We are aware of your moronic devious practices. Keep it up though makes separating good from bad easier.
Experts say? Who? I'm an expert, and I say lockdowns are forced by corrupt agenda driven NWO aligned traitors who do not want Australia to ever stand on its own feet.
Testing is a big corp stunt to collect & illegally store dna to affect people's health insurance & treatment received under medicare.
What are we doing Victoria. We need to be more careful and keep our distance.
No.
Let’s organise more socialist lead protest rallies!!
4 in 1000 tests on average return a false positive? Was that the statistic? (17,716/1000) x 4 = 69.664 Resumed testing right after Comrade Dan found trouble with branch stacking and Belt & Road. Have another protest, just don't share your lighter with others while there...
Yes please!
Just do it already!! Sick of waiting of a what if suburbs lock down. I prefer they do!!!
Yes!
Good luck after reading some of these comments, you’ll need it done there!
No, let it run its course..
Don’t disturb the Tribe’s
Sure, Unless there holding a socialist or marxist placard then you do what you like...
yes
melissahoyer Sad day for those that have been following health directions, and are wanting out of lockdown..no joy here!
But zero deaths.
its unfortunate, but has to be done
Lockdown already!
The hotspots keep changing. Last week Cardinia shire had 5 active cases, today it has only 1. Does it still need to be locked down?
Selfish people should be selfish together. Lock them in!!
How many are hospitalised?
Nice work Chairman Dan.
Someone going to build a wall around the suburb?
Agree. Now lockdown hot spots. No more delays.
Totally agree!
BuildTheWall
Agree , or why not just let it run , Every other major country has faced it more extensively than we have down under, delaying the inevitable in my eyes
Leftist hellholes need totalitarianism to function. Put the army on the street now before this failure of a state drags the rest of Australia down with it.
YES. Please lock us down for the safe of rest people.
An international poll of more than 6,000 doctors released Thursday found that the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine was the most highly rated treatment for the novel coronavirus.
YES! CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND ACTUALLY DO IT! LOCK DOWN THOSE SUBURBS NOW!!!!
are the other states testing as much as Victoria? or is Daniel Andrews just driving Victoria back in to lockdown.
Why bother. 2nd wave has peaked.
why are you still 'thinking' about it, start the lock down. and stop letting infected people in from overseas while you're at it
Yep
Yep
YES! Stop wasting time, do it without delay.
Maybe another BLM rally should happen this weekend
