COVID curbs reimposed in Melbourne after five cases discovered

Al Jazeera  

Authorities in Australia’s second-biggest city says restrictions will be in force until June 4 as they scramble to find source of new infections. Australia’s second-largest city Melbourne has reimposed COVID-19 restrictions as authorities scrambled to find the missing link in a fresh outbreak in the city’s north that has grown to five cases. All five cases involve a single extended family across different households and have been traced back via the virus’s genome to a variant found in an overseas traveller who returned to Melbourne early this month after completing quarantine in the city of Adelaide. “Importantly, he reports being symptomatic before case one developed symptoms, meaning this could be a possible source case,” Merlino was quoted as saying by the Australian Broadcasting Corp. Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the man could be the “missing link”. One of the cases had a high viral load while he visited some venues prompting authorities to warn Melbourne’s five million residents to brace for more positive cases in the next few days.
