If there are positive cases confirmed within the DO. Are all employees within that DO not at potential risk?

We are all at risk everywhere. This is why social distancing and hand washing etc are important. Hopefully those that tested positive isolated right away and didn't go into work. Everyone just needs to be more aware and if they show symptoms to isolate and get a test right away.

In my office 2 staff tested positive but the rest of us were told as our work area is “Covid secure” no need for any of us to be sent home. 5 days later my Covid App flashed to self isolate for 14 days, not sure if there is a connection as the App is anonymous but apart from work and an essential food shopping trip I wasn’t anywhere before I was notified to self isolate

So wtf is Covid secure and what is different about your workplace compared to anyone else's?

That was the line from Management and it was backed by the CWU rep.

Just needed some meat added to the bones of my suspicions that the difference was nothing of any relevance.
Now I can add it to the Management Bag of Dirty Tricks as another example of their verbal excrement.
