Despite the low case numbers, an epidemiologist has told residents to expect an “uptick” in the coming days.

“But I expect an uptick. In Northern Beaches when there was an outbreak it took six days to get to 30. Then it continues because of a very close knit community,” she told ABC’s Weekend Breakfast.
“The same thing happens in Melbourne. It’s a very close knit community. It’s a city that’s easy to get around and sadly it is easy to spread. It’s the city of most concern in Australia for explosions of cases.”
Professor McLaws warned there was also the possibility the state’s seven-day lockdown could be extended depending on how many cases emerge over the coming days.
She said the seven-day lockdown covers one incubation period, and towards the end of the lockdown they made decide they need to extend it for another seven days.
“In outbreak management it’s normally two average incubation periods to get to zero and a really good idea of what is going on,” Professor McLaws said.
“A seven-day lockdown probably would’ve been OK, had it been fewer cases.”
