A COVID wave has gone through the Alpine Shire with cases once again in triple digits.
The shire had 22 new COVID cases detected in the 24 hours to Monday, with total active cases rising by 88 per cent on the previous week to 149 cases, according to the Victorian Government's Coronavirus data.
Alpine Health's COVID vaccination clinics are still operating, with times changing this week – both Bright (9am–11am) and Mt Beauty (1pm–3pm) clinics are operating on Mondays at Alpine Community Health Centre in Bright and Mount Beauty Hospital.
Myrtleford residents will be able to go to the multi–purpose room at Myrtleford Hospital to receive any of their remaining vaccines with an all–day clinic running each Wednesday.
Vaccinations are available via walk–in with the demand for vaccines being reduced due to 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 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Bright and Myrtleford hospital clinics will be testing from 7.30am–8.30am due to increased demand for testing.
Albury–Wodonga Health (AWH) will be operating a Children's Vaccination Clinic at the Mt Beauty Community Centre this Friday from 10am to 2pm.
AWH will be holding another vaccination clinic at Myrtleford Neighbourhood Centre tomorrow from 1pm–5.30pm.
