MORE than 85 per cent of Frankston residents aged 15 and over are now at least partly vaccinated against COVID-19.

57 per cent of Frankston residents aged 15+ are fully vaccinated.

As of 15 October there are 330 active cases of COVID-19 among Frankston residents.

TLC Healthcare, which operates an aged care home in Frankston, has rolled out rapid antigen testing to every visitor, staff member and contractor. CEO Lou Pascuzzi said “in the four weeks since mandating our rapid antigen testing program, two people have returned positive tests. They have subsequently taken PCR tests, and one was confirmed positive. The person returning the positive test was asymptomatic and not aware that they had contracted COVID-19.”
