Australia's Acting Chief Medical Officer, Paul Kelly, has offered his support for Victoria’s total lockdown of nine public housing towers, saying drastic measures are necessary to control the spread of coronavirus.

There has also been some criticism of the lack of in-language support being offered to the tower’s many residents from non-English speaking backgrounds."A range of services are already available on the ground across the estates, with the Victorian Multicultural Commission actively engaging community leaders, issuing messages to its distribution network and playing a key role as the liaison point for community coordination," he said.

"Deliveries of activity boxes for kids including crayons, Lego and puzzle books have already begun. A dedicated hotline has also been established to make sure help is available when and where it’s needed." "Wearing masks that are not of the right grade can actually be dangerous. You can actually be more likely to get an infection in the respiratory tract, so masks are not without their problems and they need to be used properly," he said.

Testing for coronavirus is widely available across Australia. If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, arrange a test by calling your doctor or contact the Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080.

Drastic measures, on a very select group of people, *months* after hand wringing and mixed messaging during critical time frames- predominantly from the PM saying, 'It's safe to go to the footy. 5G Protests are fine. Schools are the safest place, etc.' Plague boats, and all that.

Victoria reports 108 new coronavirus cases, as 'hard lockdown' announced for nine public housing towersVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews says the concern is that the 'virus can spread like wildfire' in large apartment blocks that have now emerged as new clusters in the state. Daniel Andrews is now locking people in their apartments CCP style. Any reasonable person must see how that this is out of control authoritarianism that should have no place in our society. They are still allowed to travel to work though. (Not ppl from public housing) It’s going to spread further than those postcodes for sure. Lock the state down again. Victorians are proving a selfish lot disregarding the lockdowns, travelling interstate sick, and 10000 refusing the tests. Time to just lock it down again.
