A school in Melbourne's north will be closed for the rest of the week due to a year 5 student testing positive for COVID-19.

Mr Ozyurek said there seemed to have been some confusion because the boy's parents said he had tested negative before this test."It happened to us today and it can happen to another person. It may not happen for two weeks and it could happen another week later — we don't know."We aren't blaming anybody."

Mr Ozyurek said the school had provided DHHS with a list of the boy's classmates and teachers for contact tracing. The principal said the next step was waiting for DHHS's recommendations on when it would be safe to reopen the school.DHHS has been contacted for comment.

Preston Islamic school shut due to infected child of infected family attending.They are at it again Andrews not controlling them . This is why we are all locked up. Dan sort them out and don’t involve public & business. And infected with permits drive to Shepp. Stop them yr job.

So the solution to a breach of self isolation is to require more people to self isolate. There is an old saying about continuing to do something after it has already failed........

The abc has been a menace in the fakedemic

Honestly we know these backwards peasants can't be trusted after spreading the second wave around they should be locked up in enforced mandatory quarantine

I believe many of you morons owe Andrew Bolt an apology.

But if was not clear wouldn't he have infected the other kids so shouldn't they all have been at home ? And how well did the school check the letter? It would have listed names surely ?

Fffs . Here we go again.

If VIC is forced to lock down again in 2 months. Will people just sit back and accept it ? Again and again It’s probable that a vaccine will NOT change anything

the muslims have done it again

“The boy came to school Monday and Tuesday, after his mother brought a letter from DHHS dated Oct 17 clearing the other children of having coronavirus. But on Tuesday DHHS called the school and said the boy was supposed to still be self-isolating as he waited for day-11 test” 🤭

This is a potential disaster.....this is on the parents...they knew and still sent their child to school. Completely unacceptable that these people continually let the community down ... not good enough

ABC news, suggest you get some reporters to look into the current cycle threshold level being used in Vic RT-PCR testing. It is widely published that using a high CT value is not appropriate for diagnosis as it does not give detail on actual infectiveness of a positive value.

How is this so difficult? Contacts and contacts of contacts are presumed positive. scovid Isolate, trace, test. Until tested negative. Day 5, day 11. 🙄

We didn't sacrifice so much for some selfish half-wit family, to ignore a simple request and put lives at risk.

Another government issue yet to be resolved: communication. It has been hard to convey information about COVID to minority groups in different languages.

😫 so close 😱 melbournelockdown2020

Al-taqwa all over again...

Hey infected child family. Please stay at home and stop wondering around when you still have a close contact still to be tested. It is that simple it not rocket science or is it for you 😡

The parents don’t understand how the virus works, or were they confused by the letter from dhhs that cleared the other siblings?

No Comprehensive Testing Anywhere of Children the fastest 2 Legged Vector of All! They are Frequently Asymptomatic!

Yum

Hope they learn a lesson again and not fucking socialise or interact with anyone until they’re negative. Fucks sake.

On e again DHHS procedures and contact tracing going to shit!!! It’s kinda amazing we managed to get through this with their piss poor effort!!

One child can close close a whole school 😡 if you are a close contact you must isolate for 14 days. You have a test again on day 11. The siblings had Covid 19..

Islamic school... Cluster will be 150 in a week

Peter Van Axolotl will be here soon with his Morrison quote, “Schools are safe, I can’t be any clearer than that!” auspol

this will never end. kids werent allowed to wear masks, it only takes 2 weeks lockdown.. i mean strict lockdown to burn out the virus. 3 weeks a month everyone could be free.

Where is the end for this?

I hope they weren’t on my bus..

Ugh not this again

🤦🏽‍♀️🤬

Omg omg shut everything down

Lol here we go again.
