Melbourne cases ‘serve as a warning to NSW community’

NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant has pointed to the latest likely community coronavirus infections recorded in Victoria as an incentive for Australians to get vaccinated. Two likely COVID cases have emerged in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, with health authorities confirming the pair are under investigation and believed to be linked. Commenting on the cases on Monday morning, Dr Chant said “I think it provides a warning to the community”. “Again, we don’t know anything about these cases but again the risk is that there is an incursion and you can see how COVID can be transmitted in the community because for many it is a mild disease and it can go undetected. “It highlights the risk is ever present and so those people that are contemplating delaying vaccination need to consider that this risk is present, and they can’t assume that they will not be exposed to COVID in the coming months.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
