Genomic sequencing that could reveal how many of Victoria's COVID-19 cases are linked to the state's quarantine hotel outbreaks will be kept secret until an inquiry into the hotel scheme's deficiencies begins.

Sequencing to track the source of infections determined in early July that a significant proportion of new coronavirus cases in Melbourne's north and west were linked to cases traced back to hotels.

The data would indicate how many people infected over the past fortnight are linked to outbreaks stemming from hotels.Professor Sutton said on Monday during an interview with ABC Radio that it was conceivable all current cases in Victoria could be traced back to outbreaks stemming from the government's hotel quarantine system.

"I'm not going to run a commentary. I'm not going to have two processes at the same time: this sort of process [answering reporters' questions] and then a judicial inquiry. That doesn't make any sense," he said. Mr O'Brien said Mr Andrews needed to remove Ms Mikakos and Ms Neville from their positions because their agencies were warned of major problems at hotels by the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions in the days after the scheme's launch on March 28.Get our Morning & Evening Edition newsletters

Sydney’s Crossroads Hotel linked to several casesThe number of coronavirus cases linked to a cluster in Sydney’s southwest has increased overnight, fuelling fears the city could see a new wave of infections.

See your media’s panic and hysteria manufacture, they thrive in it. not surprised this happened at a pub. alcohol causes immune systems to become compromised and not function correctly.
