⚠️ WHERE WE ARE AT NOW! ⚠️
Sadly, Victoria will go into a 5 day lockdown from 13-17 February on the advice of our Chief Health Officer and leading public health officials.
As we have seen across Australia recently in QLD, WA & SA, a short, sharp response to an outbreak is the best outcome to keep us safe and together.
We have seen the severe challenges of the highly infectious United Kingdom variant of COVID-19 virus here and internationally. With a 70% higher infection rate, we cannot take any chances.
It is better to remove all risks of further spread of the virus and get back to normal as quickly as possible. This is despite all recent cases being linked to the close contacts of the Holiday Inn cluster.
We will be keeping our community updated with any and all advice as soon as we receive it, and Lozzie and I will be giving a LIVE Update later tonight.
If you have any questions or concerns over the next 5 days, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me or my team and we will do everything we can to help you and your family.
