The total number of cases from an unknown source in the last 14 days (25 Oct – 7 Nov 2020) is one for metropolitan Melbourne and zero from regional Victoria. The 14-day period for the source of acquisition data ends 48 hours earlier than the 14-day period used to calculate the new case average due to the time required to fully investigate a case and assign its mode of acquisition.
The Department of Health and Human Services is working closely with South Australian health authorities in investigating a South Australian resident, who has been working in Victoria, and who has tested positive for coronavirus in South Australia.
The case is an aged care worker who previously tested positive in Victoria in early August and isolated for the full period required. They recovered and were cleared of the virus later that month. The case has not worked in aged care since mid-October.
The case tested positive in South Australia on 9 November as part of their entry screening processes. The case is not showing symptoms.
The case is likely to represent intermittent shedding following a previous infection but through an abundance of caution, and while further investigations are underway, the public health response across the two jurisdictions will align. As a result, at this time, we are asking people who visited Melbourne Central on 8 November between 2pm and 5pm or were at Terminal 4 of Melbourne Airport on 9 November between noon and 1pm to be alert to even the mildest of symptoms and seek immediate testing if they become unwell.
