COVID-19 transmission among children at Melbourne schools has forced the cancellation of junior cricket games and adventure camps.
Junior cricket games and adventure camps have been cancelled and one school has shut early for Christmas as a result of the COVID-19 spread among children, with too few teachers to keep classrooms open.
“We are saddened to end the year this way and wish everyone a safe and restful break,” Ms Mackenzie said. The biggest cluster in the state, with 47 cases of COVID-19, stems from a school camp at PGL Adventure in South Gippsland, overlooking Wilsons Promontory.“For the last two years [we’ve said], ‘we just want the kids on camp, just want the kids on camp’, now we’re going, ‘oh, is this sustainable’?” Amy Cockroft, sales manager at PGL Adventure Camps said.
The Eastern Cricket Association was also forced to cancel junior matches this weekend because of clusters of cases at schools in the eastern suburbs.
