There have been various rumors going around when it comes to the Covid 19 spread. It is urged by the governments of all countries that this is not taken seriously by the citizens up until confirmed by reliable sources. Although this maybe easy for someone to say it is not really easy to follow as schools have slowly begun to open parents are concerned for the wellbeing of their children.
Australia is not doing well in the Covid arena as they keep going in to lockdown after lock down. The spread cannot be controlled with the schools being opened and it does not seem fair that the students should suffer but there is no other alternative.
Health authorities have confirmed three new COVID-19 cases in Dubbo as the region and eight other local government areas in western NSW entered the first day of a week-long snap lockdown. All three cases are linked to those reported earlier in the week at the same school and bring the total number of cases in the state’s west to six.
NSW Deputy Chief Health Officer Marianne Gale urged communities to adhere to the stay-at-home orders. She said “It’s incredibly important to protect your household and community,” “A specific call-out to our Aboriginal community — many affected communities [in western NSW] have a high proportion of Aboriginal people. Stay at home, come forward for a test if you have symptoms and get vaccinated with any available vaccines as soon as you can.”
The NSW Department of Education confirmed a student from Orana Heights Public School had tested positive. The school is closed for cleaning and contact tracing is being carried out. Two of the new cases are linked to a 27-year-old Walgett man with COVID-19 who was in Dubbo and Bathurst during his infectious period.
Western NSW Local Health District chief executive said residents should brace themselves.
