We communicate with far fewer people because we have so few cases left. We communicate persistently with those individuals and by and large the vast majority do the right thing.
We have day-to-day contact with individuals to explain to them what is going on, where they are out, we test them multiple times during their period, so the vast majority of people comply, which is the right thing to do, and if they don’t understand they ask the questions to the people who are keeping in contact.
We will continue to see what else we can do to make it clear, and as the cases come down that may become a bit easier, but we do not accept that in this case or in any other case that we have not been clear about our expectations of people about what those isolations and quarantine means.
Briefly, while we are talking about the northern suburbs, where we have landed over the last few days, as the premier said, 14,000 tests overall across Victoria yesterday and for all of Victoria that has been a really strong and exceptional response.
We conducted a lot of tests, almost 16 one-half thousand people have come forward for testing, and it has been a critical part of how we have managed to pull up this particular outbreak.
A huge spread of people across the northern suburbs really coming forward, which has been a phenomenal community response, and we are very grateful to all the organisations we have worked with.
We still have 39 active cases in that 11-household cluster and we continue to support and monitor those individuals and continue to work with them over the coming weeks ahead as they finish their isolation period.
We also have about 317 close contacts we have tested over the last few days. Those tests were done door-to-door. We had teams out over the weekend contacting these close contacts, making sure they got tested, making sure they have the care and support that they need to have.
We also tested 108 people at the Regis Macleod aged care facility, all staff and residents, and all those tested have come back negative.
This has been a really important community response, there have been many conversations that will continue for many days ahead with a whole range of community leaders to ensure people understand the message and to ensure that people have the support they need to come and get tested, and those have taken a whole variety of formats.
