627 coronavirus cases and seven new deaths have been confirmed on Friday, while some Victorians are refusing to self-isolate and tougher restrictions loom.
Another death was reported on Thursday night, and included in Friday’s announcement of eight deaths.
Four of the deaths are linked to aged facilities.
A total of 113 deaths have been confirmed in Victoria to date.
Mr Andrews said Friday’s results are a reflection of the situation on Wednesday.
“It is clear the numbers are far too high, it is clear workplaces are driving that result,” he said.
PREMIER TO CONSIDER TOUGHER RESTRICTIONS
Daniel Andrews has flagged further restrictions amid concerning COVID-19 numbers that are not stabilising.
The Premier said following a conversation with the Prime Minister on Thursday night it was decided Victorian officials would embark on an analysis of the data given Victoria is now half way through its current stage three restrictions.
He said the analysis would take place today and tomorrow with any announcements to be made after that.
Mr Andrews said the “critically important” analysis would give “real time clairty about what’s happening with this virus right now and what we may need to do in order to drive these numbers down further”.
“Public health experts from the Victorian team, together working with colleagues at a national level, will spend the next day looking though in fine detail, looking for trends to have a really clear sense of exactly what is presenting and exactly what the nature of our challenge is,” he said.
“We cannot open up with these numbers, we cannot open up with significantly less than these numbers.”
BY THE NUMBERS
There are 349 Victorians in hospital, of which 36 are in intensive care.
The number of healthcare workers currently infected with the virus is 614 (with a cumulative total of 1030), while 928 cases are currently linked to aged care.

FAMILY HAS ‘SERIOUS QUESTIONS’ AFTER ST BASIL’S DEATH
The devastated family of a St Basil’s resident who died on Friday have said they have “serious questions” over the care the grandmother received before she died.
Nicolina Pingiaro died in the early hours of Friday morning in the Epworth Hospital.
Ms Pingiaro’s grandson, John Laruccia, told of how his “beautiful Nonna” was transferred from St Basil’s to hospital on Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19.
Her final test for the virus in hospital came back negative.
“My family are left with serious questions about what has transpired in the past two to three weeks that resulted in Nonna’s physical condition deteriorating so rapidly,” Mr Laruccia posted on Facebook.
“Given her dementia, we are left wondering what level of care and treatment she had been receiving since the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was discovered at the Nursing Home, and through the changeover of staff that occurred last week prior to being moved to The Epworth.
“We strongly feel that given her condition, the stress, anxiety and confusion of being isolated in her room and subsequently transferred to the unfamiliarity of The Epworth have contributed to her passing.”
Mr Laruccia said that he was repeatedly told his grandmother was “doing fine” by St Basil’s staff before she was transferred to hospital.
“Every time I called the nursing home for an update on Nonna’s condition, once being told she had tested positive, I was told that she was asymptomatic and ‘doing fine’, he said.
“Upon being able to finally see her at The Epworth, her physical condition strongly suggested otherwise.”
Mr Laruccia also paid tribute to the other families affected by the outbreak in St Basil’s.
“Today, our hearts break for you, as well as our beautiful Nonna,” he wrote.

ST BASIL’S RESIDENTS MOVED OUT OF AGED CARE HOME
A body wrapped in a brown body bag was seen being taken from inside St Basil’s aged care home at about 4.30pm.
Two figures concealed by blue protective clothing wheeled the body from a room at the facility and loaded it into a white vehicle.
The workers peeled off layers of PPE to reveal they were wearing an undertakers black slacks and waistcoats underneath, before taking the former resident out of St Basil’s for the last time.
Another elderly woman was also seen being wheeled out and loaded into a patient transport vehicle as the evacuation continued.
A fleet of ambulances has arrived at St Basil’s the remaining residents prepare to be transferred from the Fawkner facility.
It is understood that all patients left in St Basil’s — the home of Victoria’s worst aged care outbreak — will be removed from the home and taken to hospital by Friday.
Several patient transport vans have pulled into St Basil’s as elderly patients are taken from their rooms by staff.
Ivan Rukavina, whose mother Marija died from COVID-19 on Monday after contracting the virus in St Basil’s, said he believes the aged care home should be knocked and turned into a memorial for those who died.
“I think that’s the minimum the government should be doing is making it into a memorial park,” he said.
“This shouldn’t be operating as a profit maker down the track. Shut them down, take their licence so they can’t function.”
Mr Rukavina also said the CCTV footage from inside the home needs to probed in an investigation into the outbreak.
“This should be a police matter. If you take the (CCTV) footage, you’ll see what they were doing.
“Where is the CCTV footage? Let’s see what happened here. There are cameras everywhere in there.”
It comes as the situation at the facility rapidly deteriorated after being declared stable.
Epworth and agency staff that were supporting the facility have now tested positive to COVID.
It is understood federal authorities were keen to decant completely today, allowing a reset with the operator.
There were concerns about finding accomodation for residents of the dementia unit.
The decision to move the residents was made after six staff — who were brought in after the facility’s entire workforce was stood down — all tested positive to COVID-19.
It comes as 103 Victorian aged care homes now have active coronavirus cases, with new infections recorded at 23 facilities today.
Federal Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Alison McMillan said the decision to move out the remaining St Basil’s residents was “not made lightly”, given the difficulties shifting some who had dementia.
She said an elite AUSMAT team was on the ground to assist, with a fleet of ambulances expected to move all residents by the end of the day.
Families of residents are being notified of the decision by a WhatsApp group set up to communicate with them, as well as with extra phone calls to relatives.

SON’S ANGUISH AT AGED CARE CATASTROPHE
The distressed son of an Epping Gardens resident fought back tears outside the troubled aged care home as he waited for his elderly father to be taken to hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.
John Jasinski was told that his father Stanislaw will be transferred to hospital on Friday to be treated for the virus.
Mr Jasinski, supported by his wife Glenda and daughter Veraneeka, stood outside Epping Gardens clutching the Bible his 95-year-old father brought with him when he moved to Australia from Poland over 60 years ago.
The Lalor man said he had been continuously phoning the Epping Gardens for updates on his father but his calls were unanswered.
“The communication we’ve had, it has been so bad,” he said.
“I’d run kilometres to see my father if I have to, if I can’t get through. This place will not pick up the phone.
“I put him in in January and I’m sorry I did it. Now I could lose him. This is going to kill me.”
When asked if more could have been done to stop his father from contracting the virus, Mr Jasinski hit out at the state and federal government’s handling of the outbreaks.
“Yes. When they knew already, I think the government should have stepped in straight away and not think about it.
“We’ve learned from overseas what’s going on but we’re slow - we’ve got to move much faster.
Mr Jasinski said there needs to be an investigation into the handling of the outbreak in Epping Gardens.
“I think there are a lot of cover ups. Things are being brushed under the carpet and no one is saying anything or doing anything about it,” he said.

BRIGHTON AGED CARE CLUSTER GROWS
Two people have died from coronavirus and more than 40 have been infected as a Brighton aged care cluster climbs.
A total of 19 residents and 22 staff members have been linked to a cluster at Regis Aged Care Brighton since July 15, with all infected residents moved into the Manor wing of the Male St home.
It comes after the Department of Health organised a fourth round of testing to be conducted between July 30 and July 31 after a staff member, who originally tested negative, returned a positive test on July 29.
Chief executive and managing director Linda Mellors said the two residents who passed away suffered from underlying health conditions.
“The (infected) staff are in isolation and we are in contact with them to ensure they are receiving the care they need,” Ms Mellors said in a statement.
“All our residents who have returned positive results are located in one wing of the home (and) our outbreak management team continues to lead our response and they are very well prepared and supported to do so.”

ONE IN FOUR NOT AT HOME WHEN ADF KNOCK
The Premier said one in four Victorians who should have been self-isolating were not at home when doorknocked by the ADF.
Daniel Andrews said 100 such incidents had been referred to Victoria Police.
“It is simply unacceptable for you to have this virus and not be at home, if you are out doing other things,” he said.
“A handful will be out getting fresh air — that does not explain these numbers, (which) go well and truly beyond anything like that.”
The state’s chief health officer said in some cases ADF doorknockers had visited the same home two times in a day to find no one home on both visits.
ECONOMIC REOPENING NOT AN OPTION UNTIL NUMBERS REDUCE
The state's chief health officer said navigating the virus situation was an act in “balancing harms”.
“The impact on businesses, the impact on peoples’s livelihoods, on their psychological and emotional wellbeing are all part of those considerations,” Professor Brett Sutton said.
“I have said before these are impossible decisions in lots of ways.
“We are balancing harms, the harms of what increased cases over time would be, and the unfolding aged care tragedy that we have right now and all of the other consequences that happen when you have got increased restrictions.
“We absolutely have to get the cases down because if we don’t do that, there will be ongoing consequences for everyone into the future. But we’re totally mindful of those broader impacts.”
VIRUS REPRODUCTION NUMBER DECREASING
Despite the rising numbers, Prof Sutton said current restrictions were having a positive impact.
“I should say it’s dispiriting to see big numbers and we all rise and fall with the numbers every day,” Professor Brett Sutton said.
“The stage three restrictions had a really significant impact and people should be gratified by the fact that is the case.
The effective reproduction number was probably at 1.75 or close to two.
“It has come down to one.
As the Premier said, we can’t sit with 400 or up to 600 cases a day ongoing. We have to drive it down even further.”
EMERGENCY DEPT DOCTOR IN ICU WITH COVID-19
A Northern Health doctor is fighting for life with COVID-19.
The Herald Sun understands the doctor, aged in their 30s, had been working as an emergency department registrar at the Epping hospital before becoming seriously ill in recent days.
A Northern Health spokesman confirmed the doctor’s illness.
“A Northern Hospital ED Doctor has tested positive to COVID-19 and is currently receiving care in the Northern Hospital ICU and is in a stable condition.
“Out of respect for the patient and family we cannot provide further comment.”

SUTTON SLAMS ANTI-MASK PROTESTERS
Prof Sutton made his opinion on face masks very clear.
“I’d rather see them stand there naked with a mask on than not have a mask,” he said.
His words come as dozens of protesters gather at the Shrine Of Remembrance in an anti-mask rally.

EIGHT CASES LINKED TO KEYSBOROUGH BUTCHER
Eight employees at a Keysborough butcher and egg farm have been ordered to self-isolate after testing positive to COVID-19.
Keysborough Egg Farm owner David Scaunich told the Leader the outbreak was sparked by a backroom employee who didn’t know he was infected when he came to work on July 17.
The shop shut immediately, however the disease has since spread to another seven employees, with four diagnoses announced on Sunday.
Mr Scaunich has been posting regular updates on the company’s Facebook page to keep his loyal customers informed.
“We shut the store down immediately but hope to open again next week … everyone’s now returning negative tests,” he told the Leader.
“Everybody’s scared and frightened … we don’t need to inflame it, we’re trying to do our jobs and do it well.”

FAMILY OF EPPING GARDENS RESIDENT SPEAK OUT
The son of an Epping Gardens resident has hit out at staff shortages at the COVID-19 riddled aged care centre, where his elderly mother suffered two falls in just four weeks.
Colin Cowen arrived at the troubled aged care home on Friday morning to collect his mum’s belongings.
Mr Cowen said his 89-year-old mother, Audrey Gardiner, was removed from Epping Gardens after she broke her hip two weeks ago.
“When we brought her here, we thought the place looked alright and we’d start the process of moving her in full time,” Mr Cowen said.
“But in the four weeks she was here, she had two falls and the second one [resulted] in a broken hip on July 14.
“It’s been a bit of a blessing in disguise really because she was taken out of here and the next day, it was all happening.”
Ms Gardiner is currently being cared for at the Austin Hospital after having a hip replacement and will be moved to another aged care home. She is awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test.
Mr Cowen claimed that he was not told that there was an outbreak at the hospital until he showed up to drop off paperwork.
He also claimed that staff were not wearing masks when he visited his mother prior to her being taken to hospital.
“I dropped some paperwork in here I think on July 13 or 14 and it was only then that some of them were wearing masks. Before that, no one was.
He added: “It’s starting to make me ask questions, with everything that’s coming out.
“The couple of times we did get to visit because of the lockdown, I didn’t see anyone coming around to the rooms and she was high risk [of a fall].
“We can only go by what mum was saying and because she has some dementia, she can’t really tell you.”

CRISIS TALKS HELD BETWEEN PREMIER AND PM
It comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Premier Daniel Andrews held crisis talks on Thursday night over introducing tougher new restrictions on Melbourne.
After 723 new cases and 13 deaths — including 10 in crisis-hit nursing homes — on the worst day of the pandemic, the national medical expert panel is understood to have considered the need for sweeping new restrictions to further reduce movement.
A New Zealand-style lockdown, which saw the closure of all businesses except for essential services such as supermarkets, pharmacies, petrol stations and healthcare, was discussed as one option.
Acting Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly said earlier in the day that the panel wanted to further limit the movement of people while protecting essential industries and supply chains.
The Herald Sun understands Victorian authorities have also considered new rules to limit people travelling beyond their immediate neighbourhood for supplies.
Mr Morrison said on Thursday that the spread of the virus was “of great concern”.
“We can’t rule out further restrictions or limitations to stem this outbreak,” he said.
Mr Andrews has repeatedly identified transmission of the virus in workplaces as the “biggest driver” of the worsening second wave. He warned earlier this week that “next steps may include having to close a number of these industries”.
Prof Kelly refused to detail the advice that the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee had provided, but he indicated it was crucial to restrict non-essential movement as “the virus generally spreads with people”.
“It’s people that move, not the virus,” Prof Kelly said.
He said the panel had considered solutions from other countries.
“Many of the people who are continuing to contract the virus and to have contact with others and thereby increase that community transmission are indeed working in essential industries,” Prof Kelly said.
“That’s really one of the key messages … about what else do we need to consider about movement restrictions in a way that does not interfere too much with people’s lives and livelihoods, as well as supply chains.”
Earlier this month, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said all options were on the table, but a New Zealand-style lockdown would not necessarily fix Victoria’s problems.
“We have to understand what the dynamics of transmission are in Victoria at this point in time,” Prof Sutton said.
“It may well be that it’s an awful impost on the economy and on people’s lives with no material benefit if we go to a New Zealand-style lockdown.
“We have to understand where the transmission’s occurring and what measures will be most effective in reducing it. We have to be targeted in terms of seeing where the issues are and addressing them directly.”
Describing it as a “tough day”, Mr Andrews announced on Thursday that the wearing of masks outside the home would be made mandatory across Victoria, and six more local government areas would face additional restrictions.
He said the mandatory mask-wearing policy would be extended to the regions from Monday, as regional cases grew to 255.
People living in Colac Otway, Greater Geelong, Surf Coast, Moorabool, Golden Plains and Queenscliffe will no longer be able to visit others or have guests at home, from 11.59pm Thursday night.
Despite it being Victoria’s worst day so far, Prof Sutton was not at Thursday’s press conference, an absence noted by Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien.
“It’s very disappointing. Brett Sutton has been a trooper through this, but this was a day where he needed to answer questions about why his team was so under-resourced coming into this pandemic,” Mr O’Brien said.
It was confirmed there were 877 active cases and 57 deaths linked to aged-care facilities.
Mr O’Brien warned that the spike in overall numbers clearly showed Victoria could no longer handle the situation, and called for the Commonwealth to take over.
“We need the help of experts from the federal government,” he said. “Not just boots on the ground, but strategic direction.”
Mr Morrison welcomed the move to expand restrictions regionally.
“We have been in this lockdown now for some weeks, and we are not getting the results we would hope for,” he said in Canberra on Thursday morning.
“And as a result, the further measures that are taken are certainly necessary.”
TWELVE WORKERS TEST POSITIVE AT MELBOURNE BUILDING SITE
The Premier Tower building site in Spencer St, being developed by Multiplex, has shut down after 12 workers tested positive for coronavirus.
A further 20 close or casual contact workers have been identified and the site was immediately shut down for a full hospital grade clean.
All of those workers who were identified as being in close or casual contact with the positive cases were sent home and ordered to get tested and to self-isolate until they received their test results.
An Incolink testing bus and medical team also went to the site to offer tests to workers who were asymptomatic.
A joint decision between Multiplex and the unions was made to shut the site.

VIRUS VICTIMS’ HEARTBREAKING PLEA
Jordan Petrovskiendured months of neglect before contracting COVID-19 at Epping Gardens Aged Care.
His family are now praying for a miracle as the 83-year-old’s weak and undernourished body tries to fight the virus in hospital.
Susan Nedanovski said the way her father had been treated had broken her heart.
“We trusted (Epping Gardens) to give him the best possible care. I don’t even know if he will pull through,” she said.
“The stuff that is going on in there is unbelievable.”
New damning allegations of mistreatment by staff have emerged as more Epping Gardens residents were evacuated to hospital on Thursday. Photos and videos taken by Mr Petrovski’s family show him slumped on a plastic bed without blankets or sheets and wandering half-naked and confused around the hallways in search of clothing.
“It broke my heart when I saw him laying there with the bed not made,” Ms Nedanovski said.
“He was sick and I had to physically pick him off the bed and put him on a chair.
“The staff kept saying they couldn’t get a doctor until 2pm. I don’t know if they even checked on him that night.”
After a stand-off over control of the facility on Wednesday, Austin Health staff took clinical control on Thursday, although Scott Morrison said the situation was not yet “fully stable”.
Active COVID-19 cases linked to aged care rose to 877 on Thursday, with 57 deaths.
The Prime Minister said there had been “incredibly distressing” scenes in aged-care homes including Epping Gardens which were “the product of a very severe crisis”. He warned providers would have their accreditation altered if they failed to ensure the appropriate use of personal protective equipment. “There have been some significant failings,” Mr Morrison said.
Carmela Paterno, 87, has phoned her daughter begging to be freed from Epping Gardens.
Angela said her mum had been locked in her room for weeks and was quickly deteriorating.
“On the phone she cries ‘please no, no get me out of here’,” Angela said.
With so much time locked in her room, Ms Paterno is losing mobility and she split her head open after she had a fall this week.
“She was bleeding and an ambulance never came,” Angela said. “They need to get her out of that room and into another safe place or a hospital. My mum’s friends who have sat beside her have died. She hasn’t got COVID-19 but she will if she stays.”
Critically low staff levels have placed an enormous strain on Victoria’s hard-hit aged-care system.
Angela claimed one worker was assigned to 47 residents at Epping Gardens Aged Care amid the chaos this week.
With the phones constantly ringing out, Sue Cashman has been unable to reach her 95-year-old mother Peggy Shallcross.
“It is life and death. I want my mum looked after. You wouldn’t treat your dog like this,” Ms Cashman said.
“You wouldn’t read about this in the third world, let alone Melbourne.”
Ms Cashman said her mother had not been fed properly since the outbreak. “She is not getting fed and she has been showering herself although she is a severe falls risk,” she said.
Ms Cashman feared her mum had been exposed to COVID-19 after 10 other residents on her floor tested positive to the virus.
“I am concerned she’s going to get it and it will finish her off and kill her,” she said.
“The sad part is no one has sat them down and said how dangerous this is. They can’t comprehend it.”
Meanwhile the family of St Basil’s resident Fotini Atzarakis, 77, are in mourning after she died of COVID-19 on Wednesday.
Her daughter Kathy Bourinaris said it was like a “rollercoaster ride that no one wants to go on”.
“For the last 10 days of her life, no one could be by her side in the hospital,” Ms Bourinaris said.
“She would have been terrified.
“She was fragile as it was, she would have felt so alone. We were distraught.”
Mrs Atzarakis suffered from Parkinson’s disease and her family, including loving husband George, moved her to the Fawkner facility hoping to provide the best care possible.
“We thought she would be safe and taken care of — but did we get that bloody wrong,” her daughter said.
“This should not have happened. This was preventable. She was in for one and a half weeks before all hell broke loose.
“It has been a nightmare. I don’t even want to drive past that hellhole.
“The government keeps saying ‘we must protect the vulnerable’ but it will not leave my head. They have done nothing.”
GIRLS’ ACTIVITY ANOTHER VICTIM OF LOCKDOWN
The coronavirus lockdown could have a lasting impact on girls’ sport, with research suggesting many teenage girls may not return to playing once restrictions are lifted.
A survey of 1000 Australian teenage girls by financial services company Suncorp found 26 per cent would not return to team sport.
A quarter of those said the reason was they had lost interest and did not want to participate anymore.
The study focused on junior girls’ sport and the impact of the pandemic. It found 67 per cent of girls were less active during lockdown.
While sports seasons were on hold, 86 per cent of girls said their screen time on mobile devices increased and 63 per cent were spending more time on social media.
Of those eager to get back to team sports, 85 per cent of girls said the main thing they missed was playing with friends and teammates.
Two-thirds of those surveyed said they felt happier when playing team sports.
Australian Diamonds netballer Gretel Bueta said it was important girls were encouraged to stay involved in organised sports.
“Despite young women being at risk of leaving their chosen team sport, they clearly recognise the positive impact it can have on their lives,” she said.
Bueta said sport helped develop skills such as perseverance, resilience and confidence.
“I encourage Australia to come together at this essential moment to ensure we don’t lose young women from team sport,” she said.
Suncorp’s insurance product and portfolio chief executive Lisa Harrison said sport had the ability to bring people and communities together, with these connections were more important than ever.
“We know the last few months have been tough for our local sporting groups, and these latest findings reinforce the importance of spotlighting the power of community sport and the role it plays in building confidence and local connections,” she said.
