Toowoomba childcare centres with Covid cases in children, staff revealed

Toowoomba childcare centres have been battling outbreaks of Covid-19 for several weeks, with some facilities hit harder than others. Here is an up-to-date list.

Here are centres which have reported Covid-positive cases in children and/or staff.

With Covid-19 running rampant through the Toowoomba region, childcare centres have not been immune to positive cases among staff and children.

With early learning an essential service for most parents in Toowoomba, centres have put in place a number of measures to ensure transmission is minimised.

Goodstart Drayton centre director Debby Cain, whose facility has yet to record a single case since the borders were opened, said the company had instituted control measures like masks inside the centre and even car park or foyer pick-ups and drop-offs.

Other sites have not been as lucky.

Here is a list of the centres which have had confirmed cases in staff or children in the past two weeks.
