It started with a family of four: Rydges seeded 90% of Victoria's second-wave COVID cases

Dr Alpren said he and his colleagues had been unable to pinpoint the exact "transmission events" at either hotel when the virus escaped from the quarantined travellers to staff, although "opportunities for transmission" had been identified.

The Rydges on Swanston hotel - the source of 90 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Victoria's second wave.On May 25, three members of staff, identified in Dr Alpren's evidence as a "mixture of Rydges employees and external staff", were then diagnosed with COVID-19. By June, 17 staff members and people close to them, such as their family members, contracted coronavirus.The Stamford Plaza outbreak has been traced back to a couple and another returned traveller.

The $3 million inquiry into the hotel quarantine system, set up by the Andrews government and led by former judge Jennifer Coate, also heard on Monday that DHHS advice to guards at quarantine hotels was "inappropriate" for use in a high-risk setting.

Here is what Dr Alpren actually said about the Rydges transmission - somewhat different from the Age report.

For obvious reasons it may have been a political to avoid some and misplace some tracking. Now would Dandemic Dan play politics with peoples lives?

Then why are Victorian school principals emailing parents telling them to have their children tested.....symptoms or not?

Why is no one reporting this... it is concerning that the DNA of everyone having a test in Victoria is going to a Chinese company 🤪

Racist

Some people don’t present to be tested because of the consequences of being tested (having to stay home), or because they don’t believe it’s a serious disease.

Recently, Patient Zero was said to be the Hotel’s then Night Duty Manager, now it’s a “family of four”. Which was it?
