Far fetched, the virus doesnt survive that long. Occams razor, the most obvious is what happened. He got infected in the community, he is not patient zero.

I am going to agree with you on that one. The virus is still spreading around Melbourne off the record after the lockdown ended. It just got to him recently.

I do not know what the incubation period is for the virus.

FOUR Melbourne nursing homes are exposed to Covid with another worker testing positive and two aged care residents feared infected as the city faces new coronavirus disaster and longer lockdown


    An aged care worker who tested positive is Victoria's new mystery Covid case
    The home's local MP Bill Shorten said two residents have since tested positive
    There are thought to be among five new cases reported on Monday morning 
    Four nursing homes are now exposed with another worker testing positive
    Popular Coles and Kmart stores in Melbourne's north declared exposure sites
    Acting Premier James Merlino has not ruled out extending stay-at-home orders.


Victoria's coronavirus outbreak is on the brink of spiralling out of control and lockdown being extended after four aged care homes were exposed to the virus.

A resident at the Arcare facility in Maidstone, Melbourne caught the virus after an infected staffer worked while infectious, with another worker also testing positive on Monday.

The staff member, despite working with vulnerable people and being eligible for the jabs since February, was not vaccinated and the resident has only had their first jab.

An escalating situation in aged care could see Victoria facing an extended lockdown as its cluster swelled to 45 on Monday, with 279 exposure sites.

The elderly resident and second Arcare staffer are thought to be among the five new cases reported on Monday, as well as a separate care home worker at BlueCross Western Gardens. 

A further two aged care homes, Royal Freemans Coppin Centre and Royal Freemasons Footscray, have also been exposed as its workers are close contacts of the Arcare staffer.

Health bosses are holding their breath waiting for more test results from the nursing homes, with all four in lockdown and residents confined to their rooms.

Of Australia's 910 Covid-19 deaths since the pandemic began, three-quarters have been linked to aged care.

The Arcare employee, who is in her 50s, was infectious for two days while she worked at the facility before testing positive on Saturday.

Contact tracers have been scrambling work out how she caught the virus because she has no known links to Victoria's other infections, which are all linked to one another.

She is a close contact of the Western Gardens worker who has since tested positive, as well as the two Royal Freemasons workers, whose tests are still being processed.

University of South Australia chair of epidemiology Adrian Esterman said the next 48 hours will be critical in determining whether vulnerable residents were at risk, and whether the state's seven-day lockdown will be extended.


Ah ha.... I was waiting for it... mysteriously now in aged care.
Wait for it folks.... and the elderly death count will begin...
Our Vic pollies are having orgasms over this ... more power to them.

Interesting what Rhino wrote.... that it was already in the community and that fella isn’t patient zero.
Something smells fishy in Denmark.

Now we have the all new and improved 'hybrid' coronavirus variant in Vietnam.

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/a-new-hybrid-coronavirus-variant-has-been-discovered...

Wonder how long it'll be before this one starts 'doing the rounds' here in Australia?

Oh, wait... we should be OK with our "hard borders" and the stringent testing of people before getting on the planes to Australia. Shouldn't we?  Roll Eyes

in the words of australias most accomplished immunologist and creator of the HPV vax

"this is a highly infectious respiratory virus. it is highly likely that many many people will catch it. we should get vaccinated as quickly as possible and wear masks and socially distance to prevent the hospital system from being over run"

that does NOT mean lockdown and attempted erradication, because those goals are not possible.

covid is with us forever, we have to accept it like every other disease and live with it.

not lock people up and go thru "rinse and repeat' lockdowns in perpetuity.
that is insane and unrealistic.

the vaccine program has gone thru the nusring homes already, so why become anxious over something that is now beyond your control.

roll out those vaccines and then close the book on this OCD covid hysteria

I think only 50% of nursing home residents are vaccinated.

PMSL.... roolly and troolly?

First we bust everyone’s economy with this Indian variant, then when it’s all over red rover... and we think it’s safe to be allowed to be “normal” again.... ta dum.... drum roll.... we somehow and mysteriously will get the Vietnam variant.
Then we can go from hating Chinese people, to Indian people, to Vietnamese people.
And it WILL find its way into the “aged care” in Victoria once again.
Wait for it folks.

The vaccines will help lessen the symptoms of those who are exposed to the coronavirus. But vaccinated old age people will still get some kind of symptoms that might hasten their deaths if they catch the virus. The vaccine would curb the death toll somewhat for that demographic.

Being from regional Central Queensland, I have only heard of 10 cases of covid 19 in my area. To think that there have been 1600+ cases of covid in Queensland is enough to make me wonder that the disease is only a metropolitan issue -- where migrants get off planes and spread it around. All arrival points in Australia need to upgrade their testing practices and make sure the rest of the country can go about their daily lives without a new disease that should have literally been stopped at the international borders.

I await the headlines saying that there is an Australian variant of the coronavirus. The rest of the developed world will be on the verge of eradicating the virus. But an outbreak of cases from a largely unvaccinated Australia will mean international borders will be shut to overseas travel by Australians.

Variants are occurring because of the unrestricted spread of the virus in these countries, this was predicted. Lockdowns work to restrict the spread.
