How are mystery case numbers tracked in Melbourne?

One of the initial requirements for Melbourne to move from blockade to step 3 of the roadmap is five state-wide among those who tested for the virus between October 3 and October 16. There was the following mystery case.

The city is currently in the middle of this reference period, during which a total of nine mysterious cases have been identified, four above the five limit.

A Breakdown of sources of infection for people tested positive between September 27th and October 10th According to Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton, 129 cases have been identified in the last two weeks.

The source of infection could be identified in 96 of these cases, and the remaining 20 sources are still under investigation. Some of these may be classified as mystery cases.

It is worth noting that the 13 mystery case numbers for this period may be revised downwards as more information becomes available about the individual cases that can be linked to existing clusters. For example, a few days ago, on October 5, there were two mysterious incidents, but now there is only one. In short, the Ministry of Health was then able to pinpoint the source of the infection in one incident.

The complete breakdown of the two weeks is as follows:

Twelve new cases on Tuesday are not yet shown in this data, as it usually takes several days for the health department to investigate the source of infection after someone has tested positive for the virus.

However, during the coronavirus update on Tuesday, Prime Minister Daniel Andrews said everything seemed to be associated with known clusters, except for one of the newly confirmed cases of the day.

Deakin University Epidemiology Chairman Catherine Bennett said on Monday At the end of last month, Victoria had zero mystery incidents for five consecutive days, and a new recently confirmed mystery incident coincided with the Chadstone outbreak.

Professor Bennett said that mystery diagnosis causes outbreaks, and these outbreaks often cause more mystery cases, which often lead to a cycle of infection unless the outbreaks are quickly controlled.

She shows that the data show that COVID-19 infection is controlled and that measures have been taken, and that cases were detected at this point, reducing the risk of cases being unchecked and increasing in number. He said he did.
