Mr Foley said six cases had low level of exposure sites, thanks to the current lockdown.
“Two days ago, there were only 6 per cent of our daily cases who were fully isolating in quarantine. Today it is 73 per cent which have been fully isolated during their period of infectivity.”

He added there are more than 18,000 primary close contacts linked to the outbreak.
“Because of the nature of how this outbreak started, with so many Victorians just going about their normal life at some significant events, what we’ve seen . is a really high number of people getting caught up as either primary or secondary contacts.”

Australia isn’t just where we live, it’s who we are. This is the powerful message behind a new TVC created by whiteGREY for WWF-Australia, calling on our identity as Australians to generate action with a simple appeal:
Australian nature needs our Australian nature
.
Filmed from the perspective of animals impacted by the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires, the commercial debuted on TV and social media as part of WWF-Australia’s new communication platform.
Viewers will be transported inside a wombat burrow during a fire storm, go behind the scenes at a koala hospital, and take flight with a flock of cockatoos.
WWF-Australia: Tapping Australian identity to help drive nature regeneration
WWF-Australian CMO details the new communications platform and campaign aimed at winning over quiet Australians and triggering action to circumvent climate disaster
Reaching and engaging the ‘quiet Australians’ who care about climate change and nature in order to trigger national action is driving a new multi-year campaign platform launched by WWF-Australia this week.
The fresh public-facing campaign is the first for the $300 million ‘Regenerate Australia’ initiative announced by WWF-Australia last October, aimed at kick-starting wildlife and landscape regeneration projects across the country. The multi-year program was launched in response to the devastating bushfires that hit Australia in 2019-2020, and sees WWF-Australia working with government, private sector, NGOs as well as consumers on both restoring nature as well as future-proofing Australia against further climate disasters.
