At 8am on 2 September 2021, residents living at Camperdown's
Common Ground social housing estate woke to find themselves in hard
lockdown. So, from that moment on, they were no longer permitted to
leave their units due to COVID-19 concerns. And this applies for 14
days.
Two residents in the building tested positive to COVID-19
on 29 August, and two more were found to be positive on 1
September. Yet despite this, the residents weren't given any
prior warning that a hard lockdown was to be implemented, so they
had no time to prepare.
As for the four COVID positive residents, they've been
removed to a health facility elsewhere, as have ten other residents
that had been confirmed as close contacts. The building has
undergone a deep cleaning, and door-to-door COVID testing has taken
place.
