If you are in the City of Glen Ira and City of Port Phillip, please come out for testing. We are not seeing testing rates high enough and we are concerned that there are cases here that we do not yet know about.
These cases got the virus from somewhere, the virus is circulating in those geographic areas of Melbourne. If you look at the exposure site map on our website, you can see 50-odd exposure sites running from South Melbourne, down the bay, down to Brighton.
These cases aren’t linked by age, they’re not linked by faith. They aren’t all in the same book club. They are not all in the same footy club. The only thing they share is geographic proximity. They might live or work in the City of Glen Ira or the City of Port Phillip. They have different types of jobs, some are employed, some are in office jobs, some are in blue-collar employment. There is nothing linking these cases other than geography, which is why we do ask that testing rates increase in that area.
