[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1943276, member: 81934"] 31 July Victoria Victorian coronavirus cases rise by 627 as eight more people die, lockdown could be extended [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/vic-lockdown-almost-halved-secondary-infections-chief-health-officer/ar-BB17olb2?ocid=msedgdhp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/vic-lockdown-almost-halved-secondary-infections-chief-health-officer/ar-BB17olb2?ocid=msedgdhp[/url] Everybody who is covid infected in Victoria is passing it on to 1 to 2 people on average [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/everybody-in-victoria-with-coronavirus-passing-it-on-to-another-person-on-average/ar-BB17onwX?ocid=msedgdhp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/everybody-in-victoria-with-coronavirus-passing-it-on-to-another-person-on-average/ar-BB17onwX?ocid=msedgdhp[/url] CHO has 'absolutely no regrets' about St Basil's response Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has also defended directing staff at St Basil's nursing home in Fawkner to enter quarantine, amid one of the largest aged care-related outbreaks in the state. St Basil's handed over control of the home to Aspen Medical workers appointed by the Federal Government last week so all its staff could go into quarantine, as the rate of new infections accelerated. The sudden staffing swap disrupted care to residents at the home, as the new staff struggled to familiarise themselves with the home's systems and communicate with Greek-speaking residents. On the weekend, federal and state health authorities sent a senior nurse manager and staff from Victoria's hospitals into the St Basil's to address the issues. The chairman of St Basil's in Victoria was reported in Nine media today as saying he warned Professor Sutton that standing down the entire staff at the Fawkner facility would jeopardise residents' care. But Professor Sutton addressed those comments today, and said he wrote to St Basil's and told management their entire workforce were considered close contacts. He said there were now 124 cases in St Basil's — "and that's with the intervention". "Without the intervention … that's just more and more residents exposed and infected and dying so I have absolutely no regrets about writing to St Basil's about changing that workforce," he said. "What I did say was they should do it when an appropriate workforce could be mobilised. "If they could not find a reasonable workforce to transition I would have been up for that conversation." Professor Sutton said he was not part of day-to-day talks about how that transition occurred. Federal Aged Care Minister Richard Colbeck said on Tuesday his department would begin an investigation into the St Basil's outbreak as soon as possible.

Victoria is moving to visit everyone who has been instructed to self-isolate, either because they are a positive COVID-19 case or a close contact of one. More than 500 visits were conducted yesterday – close to double the number on Wednesday. "It is simply unacceptable if you have COVID-19 for you to be out," Premier Daniel Andrews said. High infection rates Everybody in Victoria with coronavirus is on average passing it on to another person, Premier Daniel Andrews says. The high reproduction rate of the disease is leading the state government to consider bringing in strict stage four restrictions. "In terms of that effective reproduction rate, we are still hovering around one, maybe just under and what that means is that every positive case is infecting one other person," Mr Andrews said. "We will be in this limbo, where we've stopped it from getting completely out of control and our health system being swamped but we haven't been able to suppress it sufficiently." Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said it was dispiriting to see such big numbers every day. "The stage 3 restrictions had a really significant impact and people should be gratified by the fact that is the case," Dr Sutton said. "The effective reproduction number was probably at 1.75 or close to 2. It has come down to one. "We can't sit with 400 or up to 600 cases a day ongoing. We have to drive it down even further."

"This is not about just getting fresh air, this is people out in the community." More than 100 positive cases of COVID-19 who were not self-isolating at home will now be followed up by Victoria Police. Mr Andrews said penalties - if pursued in court - could easily equal tens of thousands of dollars.
