Residents of the country’s most affluent suburbs are most afflicted with coronavirus. In Victoria, Stonnington Council is the most affected with 87 cases. Encompassing Toorak and South Yarra, it is one of the richest areas in Australia.
Banyule is second, with 82, City of Melbourne is next with 66, Greater Geelong with 62 cases, Boroondara – which includes Kew and Hawthorn – with 60, and Mornington Peninsula with 59 cases.
Several returned travellers from Aspen ski resort, including the a couple accused of flouting quarantine advice, became the the Aspen cluster that spread the coronavirus through the wealthy suburbs, by attending a series of parties and gatherings. Another couple who had been to Aspen attended a cocktail evening for Geelong Grammar School parents in Toorak, infected five guests at the function.
The City of Melbourne’s higher number of cases could also be partly due to the large number of students living within the area’s boundary.
