Professor Sutton said the Newbury Primary student developed symptoms last week and was tested on Wednesday."I understand it was notified very late last night so some of those parents will only be finding out today the school is closed," Professor Sutton said.Despite recent clusters of the virus emerging in schools, Professor Sutton said the risk of transmission within schools remained "very low".
But he said cases of coronavirus appeared to be concentrated in Melbourne's north and west, and encouraged everyone in those suburbs to be vigilant about noticing symptoms of coronavirus and getting tested. "I want to specifically emphasise these areas of Melbourne appear to be the hotspots at the moment," Professor Sutton said."If there are things you don't have to do, don't do them."
