Virus alert for 18 of Melbourne’s eastern, outer northern suburbs after wastewater detections


Thousands of households across Melbourne’s eastern and outer northern suburbs are being urged to monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 after traces of the virus were detected in nearby sewer catchments.
Victoria’s health department said it was “most likely” the detections were due to a person shedding the virus after the infectious period, given the current prolonged period of no community transmission in Victoria.
But it could also be due to a person living in or travelling through the area in the early active infectious phase, health officials warned.
People who live in or have visited these areas – and who have or develop COVID symptoms – are “strongly encouraged” to get tested.

• Persons visiting or residing in Balwyn, Balwyn North, Blackburn, Blackburn North, Box Hill, Box Hill North, Bulleen, Doncaster, Doncaster East, Donvale, Mitcham, Mont Albert, Mont Albert North, Nunawading, Templestowe Lower, between April 20 to April 24, 2021.
