People entering Victoria from Auckland (other than transit) must apply for an ‘orange zone’ permit. You can't apply if you have COVID-19 symptoms. You will need to get tested within 72 hours of arrival and remain home until you get a negative result. (Thread 3/4)

Yesterday there were 5 new locally acquired cases reported. There are currently 19 active cases. 24,209 test results were received. Got symptoms? Get tested, #EveryTestHelps.
One of these cases was formally reported after midnight but has been included in yesterday’s numbers as public health actions began yesterday, including the case interview.
The 5 cases listed are the cases confirmed publicly yesterday by DH. The Holiday Inn outbreak total remains at 13.
DH was notified today of a resident of the Hotel Quarantine facility at Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport who has tested positive to coronavirus (COVID-19) after completing their 14-day quarantine. A strong public health response is underway, building on measures already in place.
The individual tested negative a number of times during her quarantine period and departed the facility on 7 February. She sought testing in response to the current outbreak at the Holiday Inn, returning a positive result today, 9 February.
Interviews with the individual are underway. Early indications are that the individual has not left her home since exiting Hotel Quarantine on 7 February, other than to obtain a test in a COVIDsafe setting.
