Victoria has recorded another 25 COVID-related deaths, as hospitalisations in the state decrease. 7NEWS
Victoria’s rapid testing surveillance regime in schools has already detected 150 COVID-19 cases but the state government maintains the system is working.
The state government is “strongly” recommending primary and secondary students and staff undergo twice-weekly rapid antigen tests at home before school, with those at specialist schools asked to test five days a week. “The low but consistent statewide detection of cases through our school rapid testing program shows how important this initiative is in catching cases before they enter the classroom to keep school communities safer,” she said in a statement.
