Bring in a “reserve” list when people book.
If the next available booking is for (say) two weeks time, then allow them to select days in the interim where if someone misses a dose, they are contacted to get it instead. Heck, if we are that concerned about vaccine wastage, they get to skip the queue for their second dose too.
If you have been in a red zone in the last 14 days which most coming from Sydney are you simply fill out your pass and then on arrival at the border you undergo a brief health screening and then are given 48hrs to get a Covid test. Most drivers however are on turn arounds so have left before 48hrs and therefore are not needed to be tested. There are literally hundreds of trucks per week doing the Sydney to Perth route via SA
I like you’ve provided this advice about 5 times already.
re-read the first seven words of my post
Removalists broke the rules attached to their freight permit - they were allowed to pick up and drop off, as in other States, but not permitted to enter residences.
Breach of their freight permit rules by entering residences led to infection in a Craigieburn household and to infection in an apartment.
It is understood they did not enter a private residence in SA.
Nah, that’s just quibbling around the edges.
This is the effect of NSW’s hubris & ideological blind spot.
From the limo driver to the delay to the ongoing mockdown. They have royally farked us.
If they are entering from SA they have already undergone testing so are relatively clean.
What is the procedure for coming in to Victoria?
There is some questioning whether the limo driver was the actual index case - in any event, he complied with prevailing NSW rules.
GPs will generally ring around and try to fill a spot when they get a cancellation, but for the mass hubs we might as well just encourage people to rock up off the street half an hour before closing to try their luck. Plenty of people in the ineligible under 40 cohort would be happy to queue up a few times to get their shot rather than have it go to waste.
Yup understand all that.
I just wonder how far they would have gotten if they had to have a negative test to enter or had to get a test with it 24-48 hours upon arrival.
But, they were infected when they entered SA! They brought the infection to Victoria from Sydney
How did they find out they were positive?
I understood that State hubs would not take walk ups for AZ for those under the age cut off.
That is a good idea - but also incentivise just rocking up. Something like if you don’t get a vaccine and have queued, you get a free coffee voucher from a local café.
Gets some money flowing through local businesses too.
Advised by Sydney to Vic and SA from tests taken there
City of Melbourne would be frothing for some kind of voucher system like that!
Yes but the tweet above referred to Pfizer being wasted due to people not turning up, anyone under 60 should be able to rock up and get the shot if they are otherwise going to be wasted.
They went to SA as well you know, or are you deliberately ignoring that fact?
