As… of today, 233 persons in quarantine, these mainly comprised of the Australia Defense force personals, returning students from the Philippines and the new arrivals on the most recent repatriation flight and some of our health care workers.
Daily health screening is ongoing and the number of quarantine days and testing depends on risk assignment to country of departure. Those from high risk and intermediate risk countries will undergo 21 days of quarantine and 4 tests and those from low risk countries will undergo 14 days of quarantine and 3 tests.
All these quarantine and testing protocols are set in place to ensure we continue to prevent the virus from spreading beyond quarantine and isolation wards to our communities.
For our returning students from the Philippines, 18 students (all females) are currently undergoing their fifth round of testing and if all are negative should be released this evening or tomorrow morning, as they are all negative in the previous four testing.
For remaining students repatriated from Philippines, additional quarantine days and testing will be administered and if all results returned negative they should be released from the quarantine on the first week of November. See More
