Victorian outbreak keeping Australia in a ‘limbo land of suppression’ | Sky News AustraliaAustralia must eliminate the virus in order to avoid living in a “limbo land of suppression” triggered by low levels of community transmission, according to Melbourne University epidemiologist Professor Tony Blakely.\n\nVictoria has recorded another 165 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours taking the state’s total active cases to just under 900, with 41 people currently in hospital.\n\nMr Blakely said Victoria “did have low grade community transmissions so we were going to get the virus breaking out at some point”.\n\nHe said the outbreak had “been brought forward in time and with greater intensity because of the muck up with the quarantine whereby it leaked out through the security guards into the north-western suburbs”.\n\n“This is a really bad situation for Victoria which stands out like a sore thumb” while other states have successfully eliminated the virus, he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\n“We need to actually make use of this lockdown and go a lot harder and see if we can get rid of the virus, get Australia completely clear of it and then we can live in a relatively open manner until such a time as a vaccine arrives”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
