“The consultations with the Victorian government are like lectures. You go onto a call and there are about 50 or 60 people on the call, and they lecture you and then they get off the call.”
But on Wednesday Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the contact tracing approach that had served Victoria in recent outbreaks “can deal with variants of concern if you go broadly [and] go really rapidly”. The Health Department was on Wednesday investigating the case of a man who returned a weak positive test when he arrived at hospital from the Twin Parks aged care home in Reservoir. The man had COVID-19 in August and authorities believe it is a case of “persistent shedding”. He has no links to the Holiday Inn and the test result it not being tallied as a positive case.
“They had to weigh up potential risk against cost and I’m very comfortable with the decision they made.” The building industry, which was largely exempt from industry-wide shutdowns in 2020, was among those still reeling from the effect of the snap lockdown.
Business leaders have called for clarity...citing concerns about the damage to their well lined pockets.
The more reason why the highly populated and proven most infectious cities Syd Mel (99% of cov19 outbreaks and death) needs to be vaccinate before all the other cities in March. Then the rest follows.
There is a massive gulf in competency between state and federal leaders. As for Victorians, I predict the next snap lockdown could kill most of your hospitality industry which is extremely sad since Melbourne had the best dining scene in the country
Of course they do. So what is new?
Good idea, also, Andrews should allow me drive car to work after I have bad accident on way to work, have tow truck pick my car at work.
Retailers Assoc. demanding federal intervention to help fix quarantine? Well that’s gratitude for you- after Dutton gave them $880K grant too! Don’t they know Scotty hates responsibility?
Businesses demand Morrison live up to his responsibilities Over a year to build quarantine facilities and nothing Morrison is not a leader for an emergency
If you're going to demand the universe reshape itself to your will, why not go all the way and demand an end to the pandemic?
Surely this finally puts pressure on the federal government with a more speedy rollout of covid19 inoculation which is the absolute bottom denominator, without full population inoculation we are going to be dodging bullets till then?
Sorry BUT if U voted for this useless Govt U R Not a victim of that govt But an Accomplices
We demand some real journalism....
Economy Requires you(labour) to work to make profits for Capital (wealthy) at any risk to your life to die for Covid 19...!? Wealthy only interest is profit Not your life...!?
They were doing that right through the deadly second wave too. Compensate if need be, but otherwise, don't manage public health on the demands of businesses.
So 1990s
So Channel 9 continuing to peddle it's agenda via SMH then. Despite overwhelming support for the policy of Dan Andrews.

Victorian businesses rejoice as 'disappointing' lockdown to liftVictorian businesses have rejoiced following news the state&x27;s five-day lockdown will end tonight after a turbulent year of hardship. If that murderer Dan forces another lockdown, the people will revolt. It will be beautiful. Like Ceaușescu's before, his reaction will be amazing to see. It really cannot happen again. It is unnecessary, unscientific and irrational. It is so harmful. It will keep happening whilst ever there is an incompetent bloke at the helm of the State.
