In case you missed it: Altona residents encouraged to get tested     

This came out from the Victorian DHHS last night:

Coronavirus fragments have been detected in a wastewater sample collected from the Altona sewage catchment on Wednesday 18 November. 

    Residents and visitors to Altona and surrounding suburbs from Monday 16 to Wednesday 18 November are urged to get tested if they have any symptoms, no matter how mild. 

   Suburbs in the wastewater catchment include Altona, Altona Meadows, Laverton, Point Cook and Sanctuary Lakes. 

   The result is unexpected given that it has been about eight weeks since the last known resident in the area had a coronavirus (COVID-19) illness or diagnosis. 

  Samples of untreated wastewater are analysed for fragments of SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes coronavirus (COVID-19) - at 50 wastewater treatment plants across Victoria.
