Reminder
In making the announcement, the Victorian government has also stressed to the public that the most important thing that people can do, as soon as they even have the mildest symptoms, is to isolate and get tested. This is particularly important as we head into winter and could be the difference between finding and getting on top of an outbreak or having it get out of control.
