A person who attended protests in Melbourne on Wednesday is being treated for COVID-19 in hospital.

Mounted Police officers patrol Carlton Garden ahead of a planned protest on 23 September, 2021 in Melbourne.

Demonstrators repeatedly changed meeting points on Thursday via encrypted social media platforms but failed to show up. "Due to the increasingly violent and unpredictable nature of the protests in the city, we have made the difficult decision to close the cohealth Melbourne Town Hall vaccination centre as well as our Central City homelessness service, and our street- based outreach services until Monday," she said in a statement.

"We give this instruction with the heaviest of hearts, as our staff are so proud to be part of an organisation that supports our most vulnerable citizens and are proud to be recognised as cohealth workers," Ms Bartholomeusz said."I am shocked at the treatment of people who deserve nothing but our utmost gratitude and praise for working throughout the pandemic to ensure everyone gets the support and healthcare they need.

"That's ugly, it's uncalled for. I'm not sure whether those people can be identified, but if they can it would be my expectation that Victoria Police would deal with them."

If you did your homework sbs it was actually a police officer that was infected and passed it on, no wonder the rushkon and avi have u crumbs of society covered and no one watches or listens to your shit

Apply as often as needed:

They are terrorists not protestors. Sick of paying for their actions!

Thank you Medicare ?

Shouldn't they be denied hospitalization or better yet not take themselves to hospital I mean they don't believe in vaccines so how can they believe on all the other stuff given to them in hospital? 😂

Globalbiosec Attacking nurses, urinating on the Shrine of Remembrance, kicking dogs. What will the plague rats be doing today? I can see why the police don't spray them with long lasting dye. Melbournians would tear them apart.

1 person for SARS 2 flu not 1000 not 10000 not 1000000 1 person with SARS 2 flu

Come on at least get a little creative with your bullshit. Stevie Wonder could’ve seen this coming from you grubs

Just one? Out of those massive crowds?

Who could see that happening?

So they fucked around and now the rest of them wait to find out.

You mean the common cold

Infected by unmasked cops?

I hope they don't bulk bill him.

lets hope he has spread into everyone else, but don'y give them a hospital bed.

💀💀

Oh the sheer Joyous Overwhelming Irony

Unfortunately, there’s a good bet that the vaccination rate amongst the protestors is lower than for the rest of the Melbourne population.

Hope he's receiving an urgent dose of ivermectin, and sent home. 😡

Why are we treating him? He made his 'choice'.

Okay so apparently we have to feel sorry for dumb animals. So thoughts and prayers. Hope you recover soon blah … blah …blah.

Not retweeting this andrewbogut? 🤔Probably too mainstream…

I love it

Globalbiosec

Please also treat his head and mind.

Interesting that this person is happy to defy public health orders and in doing so increase the risk to the whole population, but also is happy to accept/expects life saving medical care. Do these protesters even know what they are fighting for?

Not usually into biblical quotes, but can’t help thinking “as you sow so shall you reap” Having said that I hope he / she makes a full recovery and tells his / her mates that COVID is real.

Well, with the virus running among covid-deniers the only way forward is mass vaccination. They will not respect quarantines, isolation etc..

Que all the compassionate people with syringes and pharmaceutical companies in their DN to wish them a speedy recovery....

Remember ppl it’s sbs mainstream media , that is of course there’s ppl still out there who actually believe mainstream ? Is there ?

So a photo of police on horses..not of their violence yesterday? Shooting protesters fighting for their freedoms..in the back. Good going SBS.

Taking up valuable resources now because that idiot demonstrating has tested positive. Will he understand or is he too dim to understand what he has done to friends, family, his whole community and all the people of Melbourne.

Shouldn't be in hospital. Should be looked after by the anti vaxers. After all, they don't believe in the vaccine.🤡💩🤖

They have militarised your police, now itch to find excuse to use the shiny gear

New plan. Let them protest whenever they want but they must revoke their Medicare card to participate

Just One!

🐃💩🐃💩🐃💩

Utter idiots, do they think they can make Covid disappear by shouting it, I don't think it is scared of high viz either 🙄

Blank out the media for a day and then announce a Covid story. Hopefully they'll give him Ivermectin. It is getting old. standwiththetradies nomandatoryvaccines stoppoliceviolence

MurdochRiots

Doubt it and don’t trust SBS in any way

What if he was in hospital for having been smashed to the ground by police, but they do a test as a condition for getting treatment in hospital then tell him it’s positive although he has no symptoms, then report it in news for anti protest propaganda.

Oh, what a shame.

Party has started

👏🤣👏🤣👍🤣👩‍🦽sbsnews

Those people should be charged for their treatments in full.

Whoops

So all the Victoria police are now in a 14 day lockdown. Yes Melbourneprotest

sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

I found $1m on the sidewalk today!

So.. no covid aiy.. May he get well soon..

This is like reading a horror story. 😨🥺💔 getvaccinated stayhealthy

FFS 😡🤬
