Jeroen and co refer to sentinel and surveillance testing.
I took sentinel to be at risk sectors subject to regular testing, surveillance to be sampling of general population or areas where there have been outbreaks or clusters.
Maybe experts could clarify
I call bullshit on that comment!
I wouldnât say itâs regular, but nurses and paramedics have definitely posted about the 'rona, and how exhausted they are (which is at least an indirect criticism of the government).
And itâs not rare.
Edit: clerks, sometimes, too.

My local respiratory clinic ( in existence long before pandemic) used to only test symptomatic, now more open.
After those street parties of boozers combining to offer drinks at the door, there were long queues of young adults.
Know plenty, and none of them have said anything like this. Most of them are professionals and wouldnât want trash their own their business/name.

Anyone who breaches personal privacy deserves to be sanctioned, There can be reminders about that to staff ( including cops as well as HCW)
Also, if youâre wondering what it actually takes to get deregisterd by AHPRA.
That society chiro who runs a clinic in Middle Park ( alternative medicine etc) just got suspended again, this time for misleading Covid advice.

Does posting the Uncle Chopper video about getting vaxed count as comment?
ive had compliance at jobs where it says dont talk to the media or get terminated lol.
Herald Sun reporting Regional Victoria on high alert from new exposure sites and wastewater detections. I am behind the paywall and canât find any info on this anywhere else. Does anyone know where they are referring to , please ?
It comes as new unexpected wastewater detections were listed on Friday in the stateâs southeast, specifically the Phillip Island and Traralgon areas.
In the last hour or so, exposure sites in Taralgon(T2), Wangaratta(T2) and Wodonga(T1) have been listed.

Cheers.
Mitchell shire was identified this morning as an LGA of concern.
Jeroen rattled through them at presser, ABC is reporting.
CHO advice later this afternoon should have specifics, in addition to info on gov site
BTW I am not an anti-vaxxer and I had no idea about this any of this (having to remain silent and not have an opinion) until Friday this week.
It is also happening overseas.
If my local Dan Murphy is anything to go by, expect a spike in numbers in a few days
