Covid-19: Police station closed again

Dandenong police station has been again closed to the public until further notice after being linked to 11 active cases.

The indefinite closure took effect from Friday 4 September.

Narre Warren police station still provides a counter service, police advised.

The Department of Health and Human Services has classified the police station as a “high risk area”.

It issued official advice for visitors between 25 August and 3 September to be vigilant for Covid-19 symptoms.

Initially, the station closed then re-opened after three police custody officers tested Covid-positive on 1 and 2 September.

A Victoria Police spokesperson declined to say how many Dandenong police staff were quarantined as a result of a positive test or for precautions, due to “operational reasons”.

Statewide, less than 10 police officers and protective services officers were self-isolating after testing Covid-positive.

“The community can be assured that service delivery will remain unaffected during this time.”

The Department of Health and Human Services was tracing close contacts of the three custody officers.
