Dr. Fauci says the White House working group is meeting less despite emerging infection rates; WHO warns of an “exponential” accumulation of cases.
Sutton asked when the press convention will be tomorrow, and he said “when they’ll call her. “And that’s it.
Victoria’s health director, Professor Brett Sutton, said he was “very sure” that Victoria would get cases related to the outbreak in northern Melbourne, but reiterated the desire to locate links between cases, indicating the relaxation of the instructions.
Sutton declined to comment on why he asked lawyers acting for the Department of Health not to provide evidence that he had been sent in emails on March 27 mentioning the use of personal security guards long before he had in the past stated that he had been informed.
Sutton says he is offering an affidavit to the investigation and that it is convenient to wait until it is provided in the investigation.
Andrews will not criticize the public fitness team that contacted the circle of relatives at the center of the outbreak at East Preston Islamic College.
He said the circle of relatives had been informed of the procedure, but that the message had not been earned because a child went to school while infecting.
Andrews disagrees with the concept that it would be a miracle to have a low number of cases with all the evidence awaiting treatment.
I wouldn’t say that. We did, we didn’t have a weekly total, however, we had a very, very smart week in terms of testing, until the weekend. And we discovered a small number of cases this week and the vast majority were similar to other known cases.
Andrews says the 25 km radius restriction and Melbourne’s metropolitan/regional border are on the table to be softened tomorrow, if that happens, but suggests that either can remain in position to prevent the possible spread of the Covid-19 to popular tourist sites like Mornington Peninsula.
Daniel Andrews says the school, network and devoted leaders are asking others in northern Melbourne to take the test. The two schools involved are being organized so that all that have not been evaluated.
I had a verbal exchange this morning with Jerome and I with some of the school leaders. They came here and booked as a circle of relatives to come and check on the control station site on the school grounds.
They’ll paint through all those other quotes and that’ll give them a list of other people who haven’t gotten ahead of the way and that’s not a criticism, they might have gone somewhere else.
Circumstances could have happened. But then they’ll come back and do it for a moment, a third time. We’re sure we’ll get all those other people tested, and then we’ll get the effects as temporarily as possible.
Daniel Andrews says it will “be a very late night and very early in the morning” when it comes to making decisions about easing restrictions. At the beginning of the press conference, he said that the easing of restrictions may not be “improved. “
In fact, we have to wait to see what those verification effects show us. . . what we expect are connections and links with those instances and those instances no longer communicate about the virus in the northern suburbs than we think, so it’s about checking to locate the links and that’s why there’s a very large team of other people interviewing, re-examining, looking at things from each and every angle to search and locate.
He says Victoria is still in a smart position with a small number of cases and, if possible, will impose restrictions. It’s just a matter of getting the effects of those tests.
I try to be as frank as possible. Many other people think that was the day when we would have absolute clarity about what the rest of October and November would look like. If we can do that, we will. But the most appropriate thing you can do if you have thousands of tests in the lab under treatment is to wait for the results.
Jeroen Weimar says The Victorian Department of Health is focusing on close and secondary contacts for the North Melbourne outbreak, and says he doesn’t think schools will reopen too soon.
“Some members of the family circle live in all types of housing, some in social housing, some in networked housing, many in personal housing. We are increasingly testing door-to-door for them, so we are making sure they get the attention they want and the one they want, but also that they get tested,” he said.
“If I look at the reaction of the principal of the school we lead, in the face of this particular epidemic, they have taken swift and immediate action. We’re talking about instances that happened on Monday this week. “
The positive case at Croxton School is a student, they are part of a circle of family members of 4 and the members of the circle of 4 relatives are positive, Jeroen Weimar said.
One of the other young men in the family circle attends East Preston Islamic College, however, it is not known whether the cases are related. Both young men went to school when they became inflamed one day.
A total of 9,405 tests were conducted for staff, academics or close contacts at East Preston Islamic College, according to Jeroen Weimar, touch researcher in Victoria.
There are 101 close contacts related to school isolation and 307 secondary contacts with isolation. There are 34 close contacts from Croxton Special School that are also ingesting.
The Victorian Department of Health sent 22,000 text messages and emails to taxi drivers and Uber in the northern Melbourne area, and Weimar has drivers to show up for testing.
