[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1943381, member: 81934"] 1 AUGUST VICTORIA Victoria coronavirus cases rise by 397 with three deaths, community transmission a 'growing concern' [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/three-deaths-recorded-in-victoria-397-new-coronavirus-cases/vi-BB17rdL4?ocid=msedgntp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/three-deaths-recorded-in-victoria-397-new-coronavirus-cases/vi-BB17rdL4?ocid=msedgntp[/url] Victorian hospitals are treating 379 COVID-19 patients, 24 of whom are in ICU on ventilators. 2 of the 3 deaths recorded overnight are linked to the state's aged care outbreaks, which account for 1,008 active cases. He said Victorian hospital nurses had covered 570 shifts across the state's aged care homes since they were brought in to help with infection control and resident care. Australia's coronavirus fatalities reach 201 as Victoria records highest monthly death toll [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/australia-s-coronavirus-fatalities-reach-201-as-victoria-records-highest-monthly-death-toll/ar-BB17r01v?ocid=msedgntp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/australia-s-coronavirus-fatalities-reach-201-as-victoria-records-highest-monthly-death-toll/ar-BB17r01v?ocid=msedgntp[/url] The Premier also acknowledged that communication between families and residents in aged care homes battling outbreaks had been "by no means good enough", but said it was improving. 'Very detailed work' being done on further restrictions Mr Andrews said today was "not the day" to announce any further restrictions, but the Government was "thinking through all those issues", including the significant cost of tougher measures. He said what Victoria had done so far had prevented the state from dealing with thousands and thousands of new cases but "what we may be doing now may not be enough". "We've got numbers that are too high, we've got every reason to believe that these current settings will not get the job done, that we'll need to do more," he said. "We can't open up again at these sorts of levels and therefore there's very detailed work being done about what possible next steps might look like." Why Victoria's coronavirus community transmission cases are causing concern [url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-01/victoria-coronavirus-community-transmission-cases-restrictions/12515190]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-01/victoria-coronavirus-community-transmission-cases-restrictions/12515190[/url] Instead, he repeated a plea for all people to follow coronavirus restrictions. "You need to think for a moment. Nurses and doctors and ambulance paramedics and others in our health team, they're stepping up and playing their part," he said. "It's up to you to step up and play yours." Aged care home outbreaks grow in number In an afternoon update, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) said there had been a number of coronavirus cases in six more aged care homes across Melbourne. They are Uniting AgeWell in Kingsville, Twin Parks Aged Care Centre in Reservoir, Highwood Court Aged Care in Burwood, St Vincent's Aged Care in Eltham, Little Sisters of the Poor St Jospeh's Home in Northcote and Doutta Galla Yarraville Village. The 10 biggest aged care outbreaks are the following: St Basil's Home for the Aged in Fawkner: 134 cases Epping Gardens Aged Care: 118 cases Estia's aged care home at Ardeer: 105 cases Kirkbrae Presbyterian Homes in Kilsyth: 94 cases Estia's aged care home in Heidelberg: 86 cases Menarock Life's aged care home in Essendon: 63 cases Glendale Aged Care in Werribee: 60 cases Outlook Gardens aged care home in Dandenong North: 56 cases Aurrum Aged Care in Plenty: 54 cases BaptCare Wyndham Lodge in Werribee: 53 cases Other key outbreaks include 184 cases linked to Al-Taqwa College, 134 cases linked to Bertocchi Smallgoods in Thomastown and 84 cases linked to JBS in Brooklyn. Postcode data on Victorian hotspots released as restrictions loom [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/postcode-data-on-victorian-hotspots-released-as-restrictions-loom/ar-BB17qRSA?ocid=msedgntp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/postcode-data-on-victorian-hotspots-released-as-restrictions-loom/ar-BB17qRSA?ocid=msedgntp[/url] Victoria's Muslim communities are celebrating a distanced three-day Eid al-Adha festival, which began on Friday, amid the pandemic. Usually a time for families to come together, Melbourne's Islamic community is encouraging one another to demonstrate the meaning of sacrifice tied to the festival by forgoing time with family. Melburnians driving into regional Victoria to buy hamburgers, get 'fresh air' Police Minister Lisa Neville said police were still encountering some people "blatantly" breaching health directives. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/RZFDZzL1/1aug-adf-and-vic-cops-on-patrol-BB17o5m0.jpg[/img] ADF Medics and MPs on patrol with Vic Police in Melbourne Ms Neville said recent examples included someone driving from Melbourne to Wodonga "to have a Big Mac", another person driving from Melbourne to Ballarat for "fresh air" and someone travelling across Melbourne from Werribee to Springvale for groceries. "Those people all received very stiff fines yesterday," she said. "[That is] behaviour that is appalling and unacceptable and does need to stop. We all have a role to play in this." Around 3,500 coronavirus cases are still under investigation by health authorities, which Opposition health spokesperson Georgie Crozier said highlighted a "shambolic" contact-tracing program. "The reality is the contact tracing hasn't been done and the teams haven't been there. Victoria hasn't been prepared," she said, adding that she believed the public had lost confidence in the Government's ability to manage the crisis.
