Please note that the case identified at Barwon Heads Primary School resulted in the Barwon Heads Library being closed from Thursday 15 July as a precaution and the library is being thoroughly cleaned to required standards.
We are not aware of anyone who has tested positive coming in the library, but we will continue liaise with DHHS, monitor the situation and prioritise the health and safety of our staff and community.
Thank you for your understanding.
