Hotspots in Victoria

HEALTH authorities in the regional Victorian local government areas of Lakes Entrance and Greater Shepparton are scrambling to find the cause of an unexpected Covid-positive sample in the region’s wastewater.

Residents from those regions, who arrived in the Northern Territory after August 8, will now be required to get tested for Covid-19 and isolate until they receive a negative result.

The direction from chief health officer Dr Hugh Heggie was made effective from 12.30pm Saturday.
