NSW got a handle on the Crossroads cluster and Victoria will do the same.

We wouldn't have to, if someone from NSW hadn't brought it here in the first place.

Now it's ballooning.

From what I have read it was from a returning traveller and from as early as the 17th.

As soon as there was a report of an outbreak all returning from NSW should have been routinely tested - now is going to be another expensive eradication program 

*Outbreak being 1 infected person out in the wild

Have the sniffles etc., so went  had a  test today.I was the only one there, so doesnt look like people are panicking over my way. 

Apparently cause on the hols, I wont get the result until Mon, thats not good enough imo

Good for you getting tested.

Hope it's a negative result and just hay fever.

Better to be safe than sure, I thought           ..... still cant believe it will take 5 days to get a result  ........... Mind you when I was in hossie in Aug, I was in an isolated room to for 5 days waiting for my result.  What happened to the 24 turnout, they keep quoting

I've had atrocious hayfever symptoms; both last year and this year have been bad in terms of pollen.

Do you use the pollen app and furiously press the highest little pollen icon in the survey when it asks how bad were your symptoms?

I have had multiple COVID-19 tests just to be sure that I'm not infected behind a hayfever mask.

Im guessing it's hayfever but just need to be sure. I want to have a face to face appointment with my doc next week, so I wanted to have a test before I see him, so we both know it's not Covid. ( well I hope it isnt ).  I havent heard of the app you are referring to, where would I find it pls? Would I need to have a mobile ph to use it

I have probs wearing a mask, so I have my doc's permission to only use it to cover my mouth or not wear it all 

I run the vaporiser frequently  at night and that seems to help with the symptoms

Small grandie was taken for a test recently.    Results were back within 6 hours.

Maybe harder in rural Vic to get a quick result?
