Happy 5 Year Anniversary to the great exchange from Sophie Elsworth who was not going to let facts get in the way of a Covid rant.

And yes it was a media helicopter getting footage of people complying with the rules.

In Australia we need to identify any new importations as early as possible to minimise the disturbance to all our lives resulting from delayed detection.
We and national media should give them massive thanks and reward them for being the first detected case.

Lots of new central Melbourne exposure sites listed overnight.
Check them out on the very useful @COVID19NearMeAU at http://covid19nearme.com.au or @VicGovDH at https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/exposure-sites
Very important for us to keep up testing rates. #COVID19Vic

Have to be honest here & say the number, types, & distribution of exposure sites in VIC now puts us at a threshold where the case for limiting high risk interactions can easily be made.
None of us want prolonged restrictions, all of us want to get back to normal asap. #covid19vic

Already over 160 exposure sites in Victoria. I’m thankful that mobility, gathering, and non-essential retail restrictions were implemented quickly to give us the best chance of getting back to life, and my kids back to school, as soon as possible. #COVID19Vic
