A second school in Melbourne has closed its doors after a staff member tested positive to the coronavirus COVID-19.
Orthodox Jewish school Beth Rivkah Ladies College in St Kilda East & it's 'brother' school Yeshivah College were closed for the day.
A number of students who were in contact with the staff member will now self-isolate and be tested for the disease.
Two schools in NSW remain closed amid confirmed cases of COVID-19.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said “at this stage in NSW, we are certainly taking each day as it comes”.
“We had six new cases reported last night and that seems to be a pretty steady flow at the moment,” he said.
“I think self-isolating is good, but we need to make sure that people understand what is meant by self-isolation.”
