24.01.2022 COVID TESTING RE OPENS IN AIRLIE BEACH AFTER MORE TRACES FOUND IN SEWAGE Mackay Hospital and Health Service has announced the re- opening of the walk-in COVID-19 testing clinic at Airlie Beach Lagoon on Friday to provide more testing opportunities in the Whitsundays. Opening hours will be advised later today. This follows the discovery of traces of COVID-19 virus in sewage at the Cannonvale treatment plant on September 21. There was a previous detection of virus fragments on... 20 August, but results were clear in samples on 31 August, 7 and 14 September. "These surveillance tests are extremely sensitive and can pick up tiny pieces of the genetic material of the virus." The result does not necessarily mean there are active cases in the Airlie Beach / Cannonvale region." "There are no known outbreaks or cases in the area however we cannot rule out the possibility that infectious persons were or are still in the area, who have not been tested." "People who have recovered from COVID-19 can have live or dead virus in their stool for weeks after recovery." Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, or loss of smell or taste is urged to be tested. They should stay home and isolate themselves from other people until they get their result. Testing is free for everyone including foreign nationals.

12.01.2022 MEMBER FOR WHITSUNDAY CALLS FOR "SHOOT TO KILL" ORDER ON CROCODILES Current Member for Whitsunday, Jason Costigan, has called for crocodiles to be "culled under a controversial shoot to kill plan focusing on public safety and the reputation of Queensland’s tourism industry". Mr. Costigan said the policy provided a North and Far North Queensland solution to a North and Far North Queensland problem. We can either pussyfoot around or take decisive action in boosting communi...ty safety in North, Far North and Central Queensland and at that same time, tell those politicians down south to butt out, he said in a statement. If there is a crocodile on one of our beaches in a populated area, perhaps a tourist spot or in a swimming hole or where workers are at risk of being attacked, it’ll be shot by a licensed contractor whose job it will be to go in and deal with the problem as a matter of urgency. We cannot afford to have departmental people getting a phone call about a crocodile, then getting to the location a few hours later, putting up signs and then taking weeks and possibly months to catch these monsters. We need swift action and that includes shooting these man-eaters that continue to grow in numbers after they were protected in Queensland in 1974" he added.

03.01.2022 IT"S OFFICIAL - BOM CONFIRMS LA NIÑA The Bureau of Meteorology's ENSO Outlook has moved to LA NIÑA, indicating La Niña is established in the tropical Pacific. All surveyed international climate models indicate this La Niña will persist until at least January 2021. While models agree La Niña will continue well into summer 202021, around half the models predict a strong event, while 3 of 8 models suggest moderate strength. Overall, models do not currently anticipate this even...t will be as strong as the La Niña of 201012, which was one of the four strongest La Niñas on record. The strength of La Niña impacts on Australia are often related to the strength of the event. Central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures exceed La Niña thresholds (0.8 C below average) and atmospheric indicators, including the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), trade winds and cloud, are also at La Niña levels. In the Indian Ocean, the latest values of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index have again gone into negative dipole territory. Five of the 6 surveyed models indicate the IOD will be negative for October, and three models continue negative IOD values into November. La Niña typically means: * Increased rainfall across much of Australia * Cooler daytime temperatures (south of the tropics) * Warmer overnight temperatures (in the north) * Shift in temperature extremes * Decreased frost risk * Greater tropical cyclone numbers * Earlier monsoon onset #everythingwhitsundays #whitsundaynews See more
