ACTIVE COVID cases in the Alpine Shire have gone back into double digits.
The shire had 11 new COVID cases detected in the 24 hours to Monday, with total active cases falling by 21 per cent on the previous week to 79 cases, according to the Victorian Government's Coronavirus data.
Alpine Health's COVID vaccination clinics are still operating, but on reduced times of an hour due to the decreased demand of PCR tests and the increased ability to obtain RAT kits.
The Bright clinic at the Alpine Community Health Centre is open on Mondays, Mt Beauty's clinic at the Lakeside Community Centre opened on Tuesdays, and Myrtleford clinic at the Myrtleford Hospital Multi–Purpose Room opened on Wednesdays.
Vaccinations are now available by via walk–in with the demand for vaccines being reduced due to the high percentage of people being vaccinated.
If you have symptoms of COVID, Alpine Health PCR testing clinics are still open from 2:30pm–3:30pm at Mt Beauty Hospital, Bright Hospital and Myrtleford Hospital on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Albury–Wodonga Health is operating a Children's Vaccination Clinic at the Mt Beauty Community Centre each Friday to April 10, from at 10am to 2pm.
