Virus exposure sites at shopping centre Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au TWO stores at Bayside Shopping Centre have been listed as COVID-19 exposure sites. The Department of Health and Human Services has confirmed that a positive COVID-19 case shopped at the centre on 31 December. The person shopped at TK Maxx
from 2pm to 3pm, and at Ishka from 3pm to 3.15pm. Anyone who also visited one of those shops is being asked by the DHHS to monitor for coronavirus symptoms, and get tested if they develop. Anyone receiving a COVID-19 test must isolate until a negative result comes back. The DHHS says that those locations are not a current risk to the public, and can be visited in line with current re-
strictions. Victoria’s long streak of days with no new virus cases was broken on 30 December. Three positive cases were recorded in Mitcham, Hallam, and Mentone. Drive through and walk in COVID-19 testing is available at Frankston Hospital each day from 8.30am to 6pm. On 8 January, Peninsula Health released a statement saying “due to an
IT outage impacting our pathology provider, there has been a delay to the notification of COVID-19 test results. We understand this may have meant some people will have been in isolation longer than necessary.” “Our pathology provider is working hard to rectify the problem and provide your result to you as soon as possible. Please continue to isolate at home until you return a negative result.”
As of 11 January there are still zero active recorded COVID-19 cases in the Frankston municipality. Neighbouring local government areas Kingston and Casey have both reported active cases again though, with five and two respectively.
