Victoria Exposure sites

You might have seen exposure sites classified as either Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. But what does this mean?

In Victoria, these high-, medium- and low-risk sites are being classified as tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 sites respectively (see the brochure below).

Tier 1 represents exposure sites where people attending are at the greatest risk of catching the virus and passing the infection to others. As such, people who have visited a tier 1 site during the time specified must immediately get tested and isolate for 14 days — regardless of their result.

For Tier 2, the public health directive is to get tested and isolate until you receive a negative result. People who visit tier 2 sites during the relevant time period could be regarded as “casual contacts”.

Tier 3 sites appear to be precautionary and present the smallest risk — and are potential places where positive cases have just passed through. But they’re still important to prevent onward transmission. If you’ve visited a tier 3 site during the time specified, you should monitor for symptoms and get tested immediately if you do develop any symptoms.
