Melbourne Lockdown Extended By 7 Days

The lockdown in Melbourne has now been extended by 7 days as the Victorian COVID-19 cluster grows to 60 cases. This outbreak is one of the most infectious seen in Australia, with 1 in 10 of the positive cases catching the virus from a stranger. This ‘stranger-to-stranger’ transmission has been seen at grocers, shopping centres, display homes and even a Telstra Store.

Of particular concern has been the transmission of COVID-19 within aged care facilities again. To help combat this, the Victorian government has opened up ‘express lanes’ for 5 days at mass vaccination sites that will allow any aged care or disability workers to jump the queue.

The CPAP Clinic is a leading Australian provider of Respiratory, Sleep Disorders, Cardiology and PPE services and products. Based in Sydney, it has a network of 40 clinics nationwide.
