Community transmission of COVID-19 is continuing to decrease across the State of Victoria.

To date, there have been 4 cases of COVID-19 ranging in ages from 30-59. This is down from 5 as reported last week due to inaccurate reporting. This will hopefully be addressed in the coming days and weeks to give us a better sense of Community transmission in our Communities. 

We are so lucky to have seen minimal to no spread of COVID-19 in our Aboriginal Communities. VACCHO and its Members want to thank Aboriginal Communities across the State who are staying home and still providing supports to their families, just in different ways. We know that it is a difficult and confusing time, but we must persevere as this is temporary.

Many of us now know that we are way off this pandemic reaching its peak and that the most expert health advice, is telling us we need to have a concerted focus on containment (to delay and flatten the pandemic curve) which means self-isolation, and seriously minimising all exposure and contact with others.
