There have been 178 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Victoria that have been acquired through unknown transmission.
Currently seven people are in hospital, including one patient in intensive care. 1586 people have recovered.
Of the total 1681 cases, there have been 1393 in metropolitan Melbourne and 236 in regional Victoria. Several cases remain under investigation. The total number of cases includes 890 men and 789 women. More than 542,000 tests have been processed to date.
A case of COVID-19 was yesterday diagnosed in a student at Newbury Primary School in Craigieburn.
The student attended school on Friday 29 May while infectious but was not displaying any signs of illness at the time. The student became ill on the weekend and was kept home from school all week.
The school will be closed today as the Department of Health and Human Services works with Department of Education and Training and the school to identify close contacts of the case.
Any close contacts of the student will be required to isolate for 14 days from their last exposure to the case. Close contacts will be asked to closely monitor their health for any symptoms.
A deep clean of affected classrooms and common areas will be conducted at the school.
Yesterday’s two other cases were detected in returned travellers in hotel quarantine.
“Thanks to Victorians playing their part, staying at home and getting tested - we have made some great progress in slowing the spread of coronavirus,” Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton said.
“Our message this long weekend is stay safe. That means continuing to maintain physical distance from others, practice good hygiene - wash your hands regularly and cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow, avoid crowds, be cautious and stay home and get tested if you’re unwell. If you don’t have to do it – don’t.
“If you do feel unwell with any symptoms of coronavirus you should get tested. This includes fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or loss of sense of smell.
“I know there are a lot of people wanting to attend the Melbourne Black Lives Matter protest in person this weekend and show their support. Unfortunately, now is not the time for thousands of people to come together, putting your and others’ health at risk.
“We are still in the middle of a pandemic and this protest caries real risks for all Victorians, particularly those in vulnerable groups.
“The restrictions are there to save lives – I urge everyone to consider other ways to show support.”
