Melbourne
outbreak
New Zealand officials remain in
close contact with their counterparts in Victoria over the
COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne.
Given the length of
time between the first case in Melbourne on 11 May and the
most recent cases, now numbering 15 in this cluster, it is
possible that people from the Whittlesea local government
area in Melbourne may have been exposed to the virus and may
now be in New Zealand.
The Ministry is asking
anyone who has been in that area to have a test five days
after they were last in Whittlesea and stay in their
accommodation until they have a negative test result, even
if they do not have symptoms.
Anyone from the wider
Melbourne area who develops symptoms while in New Zealand
should also ring Healthline and arrange to get
tested.
Please keep checking Victoria
Health’s updated locations of interest and phone
Healthline on 0800 358 5453 if you have been in one of those
places.
