The Victorian health authorities have announced five new cases of community transmission in the state, taking the total number of infections linked to the recent outbreak to 45.
One of the five cases was a woman working in the Arcade Maidstone aged care facility, which is now in lockdown with residents required to stay in isolation in their rooms.
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation told the ABC this morning that the Federal Government has been too slow with their vaccine rollout, leading to a lack of vaccinations for aged care workers and residents.
