From Baw Baw Shire Council Chief Executive Officer Mark Dupe:
Council has been made aware of the potential for the Drouin Primary Early Learning Centre to be classified as an exposure site by the Department of Health.
Its status has not yet been confirmed by the Department, and Council has not received any further information about the site from the Department that substantiates this information.
However, out of an abundance of caution to our community, children and staff have been sent home, and the centre will undergo a deep clean and remain closed until further advice is received.
We will share more information as we receive it from the Department.
Should you or your family be experiencing any symptoms, please don’t hesitate to get tested.
Testing is available at the Lardner Park drive through from 8am – 5pm today or at Warragul Respiratory Clinic by appointment Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm. or call 5642 6666.
