I now have a statement from @VicGovDHHS in response to my asking for greater clarity on the relocation issue. Here it is in full:
DHHS:"Alternative accommodation is available for all confirmed cases and close contacts at the North Melbourne and Flemington estates, who wish to relocate – including 33 Alfred Street.
DHHS:"More than 20 households have accepted this offer to date across the two estates, but the majority have chosen to isolate in their own homes.
DHHS: "Residents have been informed of the offer through on the ground communications at Flemington and North Melbourne, and through community leaders. This offer will be reiterated through door knocking at 33 Alfred Street over the weekend.
DHHS:"The department respects the privacy of patients and does not provide details about individual cases unless it is necessary to do so in the interests of public health." End of DHHS statement.
My comment: Good to hear the offer will be reiterated at 33 Alfred, given that some residents have not yet got the message, on my information. Good to be told the accommodation is available if wanted.
The information about the messaging at Flemington should be compared to the statements of Mr Elhadi Abass and my own previous thread...
..but I believe things may now be improving fast. The Ombudsman is on the case and a number of people with backchannels have been raising concerns and seem to be being listened to. So enough for now. As always, my DMs are open.
