I think we’re moving as quickly as we have ever moved, as we have seen any contact tracing operation move. We’re certainly confident we’re right on the heels of this particular outbreak.
The areas of concern for us, what do we need to find out, what we closed down … we closed down the Ariele apartment building, there’s no more risk of leakage from the apartments, and my thanks to the residents in the building, I spoke to many of them yesterday.
Our real focus is the MCG. We have seen – are likely to have seen – two cases, possible three cases of transmission between the man in his 60s and the three other people there. We need to establish where there’s other people at the MCG, if they’re positive. That’s a critical bit of information.
Many of the test results are continuing to come in. If you’re getting those tier one, tier two text messages, we need you to come and get tested now. Stop doing what you’re doing, come and get tested so we can get that information and get you safe and secure.
We then have a lot of work happening with the schools, both Barwon primary and Bacchus Marsh grammar. Those are the critical bellwethers at this point in time.
It’s this next 24-48 hours that is a critical period to see whether this is a wave that’s standing up on us, or whether we’re cresting over the top. We’ll have a better picture soon.
