New Covid info available

The state government has released new data to provide local communities with more information about COVID-19 infections.

Data related to active case numbers, deaths, outbreaks, cases in aged care settings and hospitalisations will be made publicly available on the DHHS website on a daily basis.

The site will also list ‘high-risk locations’ identified by the public health team – places where there has been a known exposure period, and encourage Victorians who may have been there at the relevant time to be on the watch for symptoms.

The government said it has partnered with local councils, health providers and community organisations throughout Victoria to collate this data and ensure local communities have access to the most up to date information. More data will be added to the site as it becomes available.

To find out more information about coronavirus in your local community call 1800 675 398 or visit www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus.

Additional data, including a list of 'high-risk locations', available at www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/case-locations-and-outbreaks
