Victorian family denied funeral exemption

A Victorian family has been denied a funeral exemption for their eight-year-old son who drowned at a school camp last week amid Victoria’s fourth lockdown. Cooper Onyett’s mother requested his funeral – which was held this morning – be able to go ahead with more than 10 attendees. She told Victoria Health the family was happy to hold the funeral outdoors with all attendees wearing face masks – however, the request was denied. Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton addressed the incident today, saying “I think these are the most difficult decisions for the exemptions teams to make and it’ll be weighing extremely heavily on them”. “But our thoughts are with the family at such extraordinarily difficult times.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
