Victoria recorded 270 new coronavirus cases yesterday, its third-highest daily total. The state's Chief Health Officer has warned the state's ongoing surge of coronavirus cases will result in at least 200 people requiring hospital care within the next fortnight.
There have been more than 13 million cases of coronavirus recorded since the start of the pandemic and more than 575,000 people have died.Victoria's coronavirus update will be at 11am A worker who last worked at the call centre on July 6 also tested positive. It is not clear if the cases are linked. June Meldrum, a Serco manager, said the worker infected on July 6 likely contracted the virus outside the workplace that has 500 staff.“Again, please do not attend work if you have any symptoms at all, including a headache, cough, runny nose or any cold-like symptoms,” Ms Medlrum said in an email to staff.
"What we are finding is that hospital doctors and nurses are under the pump, in terms of being able to man rosters because of infections or, indeed, having to isolate because of contacts with people who’ve become infected," Dr Bartone told Channel 7's Sunrise on Wednesday morning. "In terms of equipment and in terms of number of beds, we're coping and indeed, the plans are there to ramp it up," Dr Bartone said.
