Defence’s COVID-19 –– 113 not out

Defence posted a new confirmed case of COVID-19 either today or yesterday (we weren’t paying attention) – but their latest updates page says it was updated on 5 December, so we’ll go with that.

The latest case brings Defence’s total cases to 113 – but 106 are now officially listed as ‘recovered’.

The new case was again contracted ‘overseas’, bringing that total to 59.

Meanwhile, there has been a little bit of movement in the number of ADF personnel deployed on Operation COVID-19 Assist, especially in Victoria and the ACT, where hotel quarantine has come back into focus…
