The daily coronavirus data issued by the State Government now shows cases by postcode and not just by Shire.

The three cases in South Gippsland have been listed in postcode 3950 which comprise the areas of Kardella South, Korumburra, Korumburra South, Strzelecki, Whitelaw.

The Principal of Korumburra Secondary College issued a statement to parents and students late yesterday July 31st, 2020 informing them that she had been notified of a covid case and the school was to be closed for 24 hours (Saturday August 1st, 2020)

It is not clear whether the school case is one of the 3v active cases in South Gippsland or a new one yet to be notified in the daily numbers for today.
