Aged care clusters likely driving top active coronavirus postcodes – The Age
Major aged care outbreaks are likely to blame for Parkville and East Brighton topping lists for active cases in this week’s Melbourne postcode coronavirus data.
With 47 active cases, it is one of a handful of postcodes that currently has a higher infection rate than it did three weeks ago.
While it may not account for every single case in the area, there has been a sizeable aged care cluster that may have taken the postcode to the top of the list.
Mercy Place aged care facility in Parkville has an outbreak that is currently sitting at 92 cases, including 54 residents, 33 staff and five contact cases – according to the Department of Health.
