More tier one exposure sites added to the list in Victoria - this time in the town of Ballan in the state's north-west
Victorian authorities are scrambling to identify new coronavirus exposure sites after a family of four brought COVID-19 back into the state after visiting NSW, and a group of furniture removalists made two deliveries in Melbourne while infected.
Victorian Deputy Premier James Merlino on Monday said while the additional assistance was a positive outcome for NSW, it was “disgraceful” that Victoria had to “fight hard to get the scraps that we did” during its fourth lockdown in May.
Meanwhile, two removalists were confirmed to be positive after being in Melbourne for two days to deliver furniture in the City of Hume, in Melbourne’s north, and pick up another load in the City of Maribyrnong, in the north-west. Families were at home in both locations and are now isolating. The removalists later drove to South Australia before returning to NSW.
The Ariele Apartments complex on Thomas Holmes Street in Maribyrnong has been listed as a tier-1 site between 1pm and midnight on July 8 and as a tier-2 site from July 9 to July 12.Two other Tier 1 sites were added late on Monday night - both in the Victorian town of Ballan about 80 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.
“It’s still absolutely manageable even if the virus did stay with any of those family members after the drivers left,” she said.
