Who wants facts?

It’s Saturday night let’s get SNAPPY! Sydney siders. 35 cases, 9 in the community,3 partially isolated. Of those numbers-they’re focussed on the number 9-they want the number infectious people in the community to continue to drop. Keep ya Bondi buns indoors!

Queenslanderrrrrs! 5 new cases today.
Lockdown for Brissy & Moreton Bay ended at 6pm. New exposure sites on the Sunshine Coast after that case popped up yesterday arvo. One of the new cases is a woman in her 50s who worked a shift while infectious at the Prince Charles Hospital.

What’s happening in the ACT? Zero.
Zero cases today - zero active cases.

And the NT? No new cases for the second day. The mine outbreak sits at 17 and lockdowns have lifted in Darwin and Alice Springs.

The southerners? They had one new case. Man in his 20s. He’d completed quarantine but returned a weak positive on his day 17 test. They’re not too fussed.

Tassie? I’ve stopped calling them bestie. It’s humiliating.

The walkers of the west! Can I call them that?
Zero cases today! Their Premier says 383 of 398 (or 96% if you prefer) of close contacts linked to Perth's northern suburbs cluster are negative. Perth & Peel had their lockdowns lifted at midnight.
July 6: they’ll scrap masks.

Hometown peeps - well done not touching anything!!! Zero cases! Annnnnd we are getting the orange highlighter out!
From 1AM tomorrow Perth and Peel are orange zones.

In Queensland, Townsville (including Magnetic Island and Palm Island), the LGAs of Ipswich, Logan and Redland within Greater Brisbane, Gold Coast, Lockyer Valley, Noosa, Scenic Rim and Somerset will also become orange zones! That means test, isolate, get negative, get free.

Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay and Brissy - remain red!

If you’re already home on a red permit? If you’ve had a negative test already you’re freeee! UNLESS you’ve been in contact with a confirmed case or an exposure site! If those peeps haven’t had a test since arrival, get tested/ isolate/get negative & get cleared by the department.

Mt Wycheproof in Victoria’s NW is the smallest registered mountain in the world at just 8848 metres. Interestingly, more people have reached the summit of Mount Everest than Mount Wycheproof - come on people. I’m assured there’s a ripper bakery there too. #climbeverymountain

Ok NSW…let’s go.
16 new cases - 14 of them linked to known cases. Phew! 13 of them were in full iso, 1 in partial isolation during their infectious period.

Of the new cases three are from the Summit Care residential aged care facility in Baulkham Hills. 👵🏼 👴🏻 👴🏻 ⬅️ they’ve been taken to hospital as a precaution. They were all vaccinated - the rest of the residents remain in lockdown. Workers here tested positive earlier in the week.

There’s a small worry about some poop water at St Marys sewage treatment plant as there are no known cases in that area.

There’s also an alert for VA524 Gold Coast to Sydney on Saturday 26 June - multiple people have tested positive since travelling on this flight.

Strap yourselves in!
National cabinet agreed on a plan to get us out of Covid town.
Main points: Passenger caps reduced by 50%, repatriation flights to get Aussies home and they’ll trial home quarantine for the vaccinated.

So where the hell is the plan? Like ALL good plans - it’s a FOUR step plan bestie.
1.Where we are now - keep vaccinating, reduce return travellers and use lockdowns as a last resort.

2.Traveller caps return to 100% for unvaxxed peeps - bigger caps for those who have been vaxxed, a vaccine booster program will be introduced and lockdowns only in EXTREME circumstances. EXTREME is a word which should always be written in caps.

Kicking it off with NSW. 24 new cases. Half were in iso - the others were in the community - seven are unlinked.
Late this arvo they announced a positive case had been to the Sydney Olympic Park vaccination site on June 29.

Remember the West Hoxton shindig?
Infections from that party now sit at 41. They’ve had 202 delta cases all up so far.

Queensland is heating up and I’m not talking about the weather sis.
Two new cases there -one is a close contact of the Portuguese restaurant outbreak, the other is a Qatar Airways check-in staff member who tested soon after developing symptoms. They have five clusters all up.

I thought we were done with this but - here we go - who wants facts?

The man in his 60s attended a party at his daughters Hoxton West house in NSW on Saturday night.

He flew to Melbourne on a Jetstar flight JQ523 that departed Sydney 5:30pm on Sunday. The flight landed at Melbourne Airport Tullamarine at 7.05pm at Terminal 4. We don’t yet have confirmation on how many people were on that flight.

@7NewsMelbourne

Rosa Rossi-this is one of the most unbelievable stories I’ve ever covered in court. Stay with me. Rossi was a SGT of Victoria Police. She used the LEAP database to find properties that were vacant around Melbourne. @7NewsMelbourne

@7NewsMelbourne

Rossi then hired locksmiths and tricked them into believing she was the true owner of those houses - and had them change all the locks. @7NewsMelbourne

She then advertised the properties on gumtree and met potential tenants to show them through the houses, then she signed them up. There were five all up.
