These premises have had confirmed cases visit during their infectious period. This does not mean that there is an ongoing risk associated with the premises, and you can safely visit the site in line with current restrictions.

The exposure period reflects the date or time that someone with coronavirus visited that location. This visit occurred during the time that person was infectious. This includes 48 hours prior to them developing symptoms.

Locations are identified during contact tracing. Contact tracing occurs after someone tests positive for coronavirus.

Locations stay on the list for 14 days after the last time someone with coronavirus visited during the period. 14 days is the longest period of time (incubation period) that someone who visited a location and came in to contact with someone who has coronavirus could have the virus before they show symptoms.

The locations listed are where there is a higher risk you may have been exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19). It is not a complete list. The information is based on advice provided to the department by people who are confirmed cases.

Risk locations will remain on the list for 14 days from the most recent exposure.

The locations on this list are not a current risk to the public and you can visit them in line with current restrictions.

Residents are being urged to be tested for coronavirus following the notification of three positive cases in Mitcham, Hallam and Mentone yesterday (wednesday 30th Dec).

Victoria’s Commander of COVID-19 response Jeroen Weimar said the active cases were a concern but that everything was being done to ensure all relevant exposure sites and close contacts were identified.

“We have three cases that are self-isolating at home and are being supported and monitored by the Department of Health and Human Services,” Mr Weimar said. The cases are present in two women in their 40s and a woman in her 70s.

“We have been in this position before and we are deploying our full outbreak approach around these cases. Extensive contact tracing is underway and as a result there are currently more than 40 primary close contacts that are being supported to isolate immediately.”

Mr Weimar said that contact tracing is ongoing overnight as the team confirms evidence of how these cases presented and more close contacts are expected to emerge.

“At this point, our priority is on making sure we’ve got the right supports in place for the close contacts (primary and secondary) and that people are getting themselves tested.”
