In terms of clearances, over 90% of primary close contact have now been cleared in this outbreak.
An additional 536 were cleared yesterday and about 3,000 remain.
The 500-plus primary close contact linked to the Lacrosse apartments are coming up to their day-13 tests in days ahead and that will again be supported through in-reach testing door to door.
Our household engagement teams visited 525 people yesterday. 501 of those were close contact and they continue to see very high complaints with those visits and again, huge thanks to everyone who is doing their quarantine at home and why we’re seeing every single day that new cases are in primary close contact who have had their entire infectious period out of the community.
In terms of our red-zone permit holders there are about 9,000 active permit-holders from red zones in Victoria. 1,100 were added to the list yesterday coming in from Queensland.
They were required to go straight home to isolate.
They’ll get tested in the first few days of their quarantine period but they need to do a full 14 days of quarantine at home.
Yesterday, our comms went out to orange-zone arrival from South East Queensland who had come to Victoria prior to the red zone declaration. With another prompt for additional testing.
We thank everyone in that group who are, again, going above and beyond to get an additional test on day 7 out of an abundance of caution and in the knowledge that there’s been some transmission in South East Queensland leading to their cluster in recent days or potentially the last couple of weeks.
There were more than 22,000 tests processed yesterday.
