23.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS WRAP FOR SUNDAY. A lot has happened in the past few hours. First we had confirmation of the first Coronavirus case in the Yarriambiack Shire. The Department of Health and Human Services are releasing no further details beyond assuring people "The public can be confident that all close contacts will be identified and responded to accordingly as required to protect public health" Shortly after this news the State Government announced it would be shutting down the st...ate over the next 48 hours. Essential services will remain in place i.e. supermarkets Pharmacies etc . State Minister for Agriculture and Regional Affairs Jaclyn Symes says "We will ensure our farms and agribusinesses keep operating to keep the supermarkets stocked and food on tables." "Food and beverage production is at the heart of ensuring we can get through this crisis together - the Victorian Government knows how important you are to us all." It has also been announced that the Stick Shed at Murtoa will be closed until further notice. School Holidays have been brought forward to Tuesday meaning that Monday will be the final day of term. Short notice but the expectation is that this will allow parents to self-isolate their children and adhere to social distancing protocols. As The Advertiser gets more news or clarity on what is about to happen in the Dunmunkle Triangle well bring it to you here and over on Twitter @MurtoaA
