[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1977939, member: 81934"] 7 December OMICRON in AUSTRALIA. NSW OMICRON NSW is now a total of 28 cases of COVID-19 with the Omicron variant in NSW. To date, no Omicron cases have been admitted to hospital in NSW for treatment of COVID-19.. NSW Health continue to investigate the source of infection of a cluster of COVID-19 cases at Regents Park Christian School, St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School in Regents Park, and the Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym in Villawood in South Western Sydney. Genome sequencing carried out on Monday 6 December shows an additional six cases in this cluster with the Omicron variant. This brings to 20 the total number of Omicron cases linked to the Regents Park Omicron cluster. The source of this cluster is believed to be a returned overseas traveller, who arrived in Sydney from Doha on flight QR908 on 23 November. This person had spent time in Nigeria. The total number of Omicron cases in NSW acquired either overseas or on an international flight is 11. NSW local Omicron transmissions stands at 17 KNOWN cases. >>>>> ACT OMICRON There are now five cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the ACT, with one of the new cases forcing about 180 people linked to Lyneham Primary School into quarantine. 3 more infections of the variant were confirmed yesterday — two are household contacts of the earlier cases and one is a casual contact — bringing the case total to five. ACT Health said one of the cases had attended the inner north school on November 30 and December 1, sending 180 people into quarantine for 14 days, according to rules adjusted by ACT Health after the new variant was detected in the territory. In an email to parents, carers and staff of Lyneham Primary School, ACT Health said all year 1 and 2 students who were at school on the two dates have to quarantine. All students who attended before school care, and any year 2-6 students who attended after school care, on those dates, also have to quarantine. "All household members of the close contact are also required to quarantine together with the close contact," the email said. "Household members are not required to undergo COVID-19 testing unless they develop symptoms."Vic Omicron Genomic sequencing is underway to determine whether an international traveller who landed in Melbourne last week might be infected with the Omicron strain of COVID-19. The traveller, who is fully vaccinated, went straight into hotel quarantine after arriving in Victoria from the Netherlands, via Abu Dhabi, on December 3. The person returned a negative PCR test on December 4 before developing symptoms and testing positive for the virus on December 6. Health authorities said the test results had shown an S gene dropout in the virus, a sign a person could be infected with Omicron, according to the World Health Organisation. "Several labs have indicated that for one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected — called S gene dropout or S gene target failure - and this test can therefore be used as marker for this variant, pending sequencing confirmation," the WHO said on November 26. Health authorities said other passengers on the inbound flight would be contacted to make sure they have been tested for the virus, as contact tracers try to determine the source of the infection. . By state: NSW: 28 cases ACT: 5 cases NT: 1 case VIC: 1 suspected case in hotel quarantine in Melbourne. TOT OMICRON = 34 [/QUOTE]
