Positive case attended the Wallabies v France game in Melbourne

Positive case attended the Wallabies match​

A person with COVID-19 attended the France versus Wallabies rugby union match at AAMI Park on Tuesday night.​

A company email seen by The Age and The Herald confirmed the case on Thursday night. The message said AAMI was working closely with contact-tracing teams to identify primary and secondary close contacts.​

​

More than 20,000 people attended the match which marked the return of Test rugby to Melbourne. The teams are due to play their final match of the series in Queensland on Saturday.​

Following the two construction sector clusters mentioned in the NSW Presser another has emerged.

Three workers on Sydney infrastructure project test positive to COVID-19​

By Alexandra Smith, SMH​

Three workers on a major infrastructure project in Sydney’s inner west, the Westconnex Rozelle interchange site, have tested positive to COVID-19.​

The cases were revealed late on Thursday, and follows four cases associated with another worksite at Greenacre, in western Sydney.​

​

A statement from Transport for NSW said: “Three delivery drivers supplying materials to the WestConnex M4-M5 Link Tunnels and Rozelle Interchange projects have tested positive to COVID-19.​

​

“The drivers, and all workers on these sites, wear personal protective equipment including a mask, eye protection and gloves, in line with strict health and safety requirements.​

​

“Delivery drivers they had minimal contact with other workers and showed no symptoms while on site, however as a precaution a small number of people working near where the deliveries took place have been tested.”​

So I think this is the third recent positive hospital related case identified in Sydney?
The anesthetist worked across two hospitals: Liverpool and Campbelltown Hospital.

The key thing being - she is not wearing a mask.

However, I am not sure there has been toilet paper rush today, but that would be just so 2020...

Hilarious, but unfortunately not true. There was a toilet paper rush recently here in ACT when all that was announced was mask wearing for 2 weeks!

Equally OT but I had a little chuckle at this one

Not a surprise of dealing with Covid patients. Was something like 4000 healthcare workers in the first Vic lockdown.

Even if they had been vaccinated, at 95% efficacy it still would have been 100+.

He's useless. Asked a question about how retail employees can work from home. Answers that "we need less people moving around". So......

Point being they can't..
And neither can those in the 45+ categories on that Vic list.

Including a vast number of retail workers serving click and collect (which NSW should be recommending)
Pet stores (my two local ones in Sydney are closed)
And production of documentaries and films (given the aggressive question of Gladys today on renting out Parliament house next week)

Infectious workers at 2 sites for 14 days, plus at a medical practice for multiple days

Am I missing something here: Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the boy had arrived in Sydney on June 21 and completed quarantine there, before flying into Brisbane on QF544 on July 9.
Assuming if hotel quarantine was completed on 6 July then potentially they were in a hotspot for 3 days and would not have been permitted to travel to Queensland?

All negative tests so far here apparently.

Contract cleaner was unvaccinated.

All the chatter has NSW cases in the mid 90s today.

Have they asked everyone who was at the MCG to get tested? That would seem massive overkill to me given the size of the ground. Can droplets travel 100 metres?

 

[lovetravellingoz]

Exposure sites in Vic keep growing. Many added overnight.

Including the Wallabies Game.

If any infected from that they may have started to become infectious last night, so looks like lockdown was just in time.

It will be interesting to see who in the transmission chain infected (and when they did) the person who attended the game.

I hope this doesn't spread to Melbourne. Is it still the home to the largest Greek population outside Greece?

Thousands rally in Athens against COVID-19 vaccinations

More than 5,000 protesters opposed to vaccinations gathered outside the parliament in Athens after the government announced mandatory vaccinations for workers in certain sectors.

Have they asked everyone who was at the MCG to get tested?

No. There is a priority order. Every patron or staff member who is a known close contact (ie sat near or stood near) gets contacted directly by phone call. Those in the that whole section will have been emailed and SMSed, plus the publicity.

That would seem massive overkill to me given the size of the ground.

Yes but remember that people mingle outside of the ground. Drink at Y&J and catch trains and trams.

So there should be a fair number of people who were not in the Members Reserve who may have overlapped with the 60s guy.

60s guy caught multiple trams and a train there and back. Includes Frinders St Station.

Can droplets travel 100 metres?

No. But as above people at the game can and do get near other attendees outside and patrons can easily walk past each other outside.
