Today was ROUGH.
I hate that this is happening to Vic again.
But as always – when shit hits the fan – we get it done. ♥️
Victoria, Let’s talk.
First – we run the numbers because routine is key:
22 cases
17 linked
14 locked
6 people are in hospital
1 child in ICU
205 active cases
14k primary close contacts in iso
Where are the cases?
1 – at the engagement enragement party 11- Al-Taqwa
2 – Glenroy West PS
2 – Newport
1 – CS Square
1 – linked to the Dandenong cleaner (this has now been linked)
2 – Altona North (these are now linked to Newport) 2- Residential tower Lygon Street Carlton
69 people attended an engagement enragement party..
Sounds like the start of a bad joke right? We all know it ain’t.
There were also ‘pub crawls’ and too many mystery cases.
The premier said ‘shitty decisions’ were being made
and PLUNGED us into another two weeks of lockdown.
You heard there were more rules? Oh yeah.
Curfew from 9pm-5am
Essential worker permits are back
Playgrounds/basketball courts/skate parks are shut.
No more taking masks off to drink takeaway alcohol
Regional VIC – you stay as you are. Touch nothing. Do not breathe.
Are the people at the engagement enragement party going to be fined?
The popo say they’re going to fine each of the adults 5000 clams.
All up that was a 350k engagement enragement party.
There are now 3 positives from that shindig.
Annnd the premier is furious about how much contact tracing is going to have to be done to make sure it’s contained – when those contact tracers could be working on other outbreaks.
What happened to the Northies?
Oh besties, a man in his 30s was infectious in the community.
He came out of the NSW HQ bin – travelled to Canberra - then on to NT for work.
There is now a 72 hour lockdown in place.
He was wearing a mask and he tested on arrival.
ACT
The numbers went boom! But the health people say they’re not shocked.
19 new cases
Total cluster now 28
5723 tests – this is massive – the equivalent of 100k tests in Victoria
Of the new cases: a worker is positive at the Greenway Views Village aged care home - she didn’t know she was infectious when she worked.
And a student at Lyneham High School has tested positive.
Lockdown has been extended another two weeks to get on top of it.
NSW
The digits:
478 new cases
141 are linked (120 are from household spread 21 close contacts )
337 are mystery cases

And a 15 yo boy being treated for a serious medical condition.
Operation ‘stay at home’ began at midnight.
18k police + 800 ADF are involved.
Almost 500 fines were issued.
120 for not wearing masks.
There is a new cluster in an oncology ward at St George Hospital in Kogarah.

All in the no new cases club.

QUEENIES
Zero new cases Queenies!!
There are still 3300 people in iso.
Ironside State school has opened.
From Friday essential workers heading to QLD from NSW – must have one dose of the vax.
There have been long waits on the border – because EVERY SINGLE car is being checked.
They are also checking every single passenger arriving by air.

There are 46,799 people living in Aus who were born in Afghanistan- 38% live in Victoria. That’s tonight’s fact.
Tonight’s request – if you know any of them –check in.
My Dad is fortunate enough to have many Afghan friends and they appreciated his call.
If you can-do the same. ♥️
Note: the above number was taken from the most recent census data - which is some years old - the actual number will probably be much higher than this.
