ABC  

Another Melbourne school has been closed after a teacher who recently returned from the United States was diagnosed with coronavirus, as the Victorian Government activated the State Control Centre to respond to the epidemic. Key points: Three of the state's four new cases had recently returned from the United States on separate flights Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah Colleges has closed for the day due to a teacher testing positive for COVID-19 The chief health officer said Victoria would likely have to implement "really disruptive" measures to stop the spread within weeks The male teacher from Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah Colleges, aged in his 50s, is one of four new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Victoria, which has brought the state's total number to 22. The second Carey staff member took the state's official COVID-19 case number to 22, after authorities announced three new cases on Tuesday morning in people who had recently returned from the US. Severe disruptions could start in weeks Victoria's chief health officer Brett Sutton said he expected it would be "weeks, rather than months" before the number of person-to-person cases in Victoria prompted authorities to bring in "really disruptive public health measures". Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp said he and his team decided the "time was right to stand up" the State Control Centre.
