BREAKING: An urgent virus alert is in place for 24 Melbourne suburbs after COVID fragments were again detected in wastewater.

Residents and recent visitors to Tarneit, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing have been urged to get tested even if mild COVID-19 symptoms develop after viral fragments were detected on February 25.

“Anyone who has any symptoms of COVID-19 is urged to get tested, especially if you live in or have visited these areas from February 23.” The health department also revealed a weak detection of viral fragments in wastewater in Melbourne’s outer west on Saturday.

My parents live in area it was showing in wastewater in Logan area of Qld. They both had colds but tests came back negative. The bit I was not impressed with is that Logan Hospital made everyone who was sick sit in same hallway, where they had to wait 2 hours to get a test!

For fucks sake of course there is, they found it here too but guess what, still no covid cases here in 8 months. Fuck off with this shit

Lockdown down Dan !!

Call me a sceptic but I’ve not seen any of these sewerage alerts end in actual cases... 🧐🤔

Ok 🙄

Bollocks the only thing they found was SHIT. arse clowns everywhere.

delet this

They're taking the piss.

Stop freaking people out! Please understand about shredding and the fact if you have residents or travellers in quarantine who got covid and they get better and leave, and they'll shred for weeks.

On the vic dhhs website it actually says how it is possible that it could be from an old positive who is shredding and has visited those suburbs. Can they stop alarming people

A virus so deadly that you have to literally look through 💩💩💩 to find it what complete BS 🤬🤬

Had to be Victoria, didn’t it?

Oh dear. Donkey Dan gonna put the shackles on again... 🙄🤦‍♂️

Pfft, NSW Health issues these alerts whenever test numbers are consistently low as a means to get the test numbers back up.

Fully fact checked? MtD, Kalorama, Olinda aren’t connected to sewerage. We’re all on septic tanks. Great journalism. Try harder.

No one should be drinking the waste water anyways

I’m assuming it’s non-infectious post COVID patients shedding the virus.

It’s all crap, they never lead to cases
