Hospital pressure as 'exponential increase' of COVID hits Ballarat.
"We've got people in hospital as a result of COVID, and people coming in with something else who test positive to COVID," Dr Grenfell said.
"It's a timely reminder the pandemic hasn't finished yet, which means that now is the time to do what we know we should - if you are sick, test, stay home until you're well and if you're going into a crowded space and don't want to catch COVID, wear a mask."
