Under Victoria’s isolation rules, people who test positive must isolate for 10 days after their positive result. Household contacts are required to do seven days of quarantine.Credit:The East Gippsland camp was run by PGL Adventure, which stated in its COVID-19 infection policy that the priority was to isolate anyone who shows symptoms to minimise the spread of infection.
Both schools were at the camp at the same time, however the Education Department played down suggestions the virus had spread from one group of children that already had positive cases to the other.“The two schools who attended the camp in question at the end of this term did not share cabins, bathrooms, meeting rooms or structured activities. Kitchen and dining facilities were used at different times,” said a spokesperson.
No new confirmed cases of the Omicron strain were identified on Friday, with the total number of confirmed cases with variant still sitting at 19.
