Two primary schools in Melbourne’s inner west have reported confirmed cases of COVID-19 in their communities, but will remain open.

A parent at Kensington Primary School, and a parent at Newport Gardens Primary, have both tested positive to the virus.

However, parents have been told the schools will stay open, based on the advice of the Department of Health and Human Services.

“DHHS has advised that there is no need for our school to close or for staff or students to take any further precautionary action,” parents and carers at Kensington Primary were told.

Pull out your kids. Nobody else will protect them or you.
