20.01.2022 Yesterday, the Victorian Government’s virus detection work through wastewater testing found viral fragments of coronavirus in wastewater taken from the sewer ...network at Anglesea. While the preliminary result may not mean there are active cases of coronavirus in the Anglesea community, a testing blitz has commenced today with a pop-up testing site at: Anglesea Memorial Hall, 1B McMillan Street, Anglesea from 11am 6pm today and then from 10am to 6pm every day until Sunday 4th October. Locals with even the mildest symptoms are encouraged to get tested and isolate as they wait for their result. This result also shows how important it remains to wear a mask, keep within social distancing and gathering restriction guidelines and have good hand hygiene. The positive trace of coronavirus was detected in a preliminary test result and then confirmed on Tuesday 29 September in a sample collected from the entry to a wastewater treatment plant on Tuesday 22 September. The test result may be a result of someone with coronavirus infection who hasn’t been detected through testing. It could also be because someone who has previously been infected is continuing to shed the virus. Wastewater samples are taken from more than 30 sites across Victoria including Anglesea, which is one of 11 Barwon Water locations in Surf Coast, Colac-Otway and Greater Geelong.

03.01.2022 Police are warning the community to be wary of a recent spate of telephone scams. Members of the public have contacted police stating they have received a phone... call from someone claiming the victim has an outstanding tax debt. Often the number displayed on the caller identification is that of a local police station or other government agency, such as the ATO. The scammers reportedly ask for personal information or bank details, and in some examples request the victim purchases online music vouchers or similar products to pay supposed fines. If you receive a phone call requesting personal information or payment from a person representing themselves from a law enforcement or government agency: Do not respond to the request and hang up Call the institution back via a publicly listed phone number If you have lost money as a result of this type of scam, please report the matter to your local police station. You can also report scams to Scamwatch via https://bddy.me/3nbWPoz
