COVID-19 / Australia / 19th, 21st, 25th September Update

Daily cases are still at a high level in both states of concern ie. New South Wales and Victoria.

Deaths have also increased as have hospitalisations, ICU and ventilator patients.

In other news, very violent anti lockdown protests erupted in Melbourne yesterday.

A considerable number of police and protesters were injured, many needing hospital treatment. There were around 235 arrests.

Police managed to thwart similar protest gatherings in Sydney.

For us, it is of concern that cases are now starting to appear in major towns north and south of us.

None however have been reported in our community.

 

Update: 21st September

Well, it’s here!
A local medical practice has closed for face to face consultations after a patient who visited the centre last week tested positive to COVID 19. 
The patient was wearing a mask and had followed all required precautions.
So now we need to be extra vigilant.

Update: 25th September

Five new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in the Shoalhaven on Friday, with the source of infection for two of these cases under investigation.
This brings our LGA’s total number of cases since the Delta-variant outbreak to 66. Of these, 34 are under investigation.
One of our local supermarkets has now been declared a covid hotspot.
