Dr Forrest, 60, revealed his ordeal in an exclusive interview with theafter spending much of 2020 travelling the globe in pursuit of renewable energy projects for his Fortescue Metals Group.Trevor Collens

Australia’s richest man said he caught the disease from a Russian interpreter after she joined the Fortescue travel crew for a four-month tour covering 47 countries.Advertisementreported no other crew members tested positive, and as a precautionary measure, Dr Forrest was evacuated to a Swiss hospital where he spent three days in a specialist respiratory clinic.

“I’m grateful that our apparatus, systems technologies and precautions kept my team safe,” Dr Forrest said. “I would rather have not caught COVID but it hasn’t harmed me. I’m still as fit as a fiddle but the big thing is that it enabled us to put together a suite of assets to create a supply of renewable fuels and products which could rival the fossil-fuel sector.""There is a period with COVID between the seventh and tenth days that if anything is going to go wrong it will happen then, so as a precautionary measure I went to a respiratory specialist unit in Switzerland," he said.

Dr Forrest has also been granted multiple exemptions to travel, both internationally and interstate during the pandemic, including six interstate trips while WA's hard border was in place.Save

Far more suffering & death from despot regime diktat than a virus with 99+% recovery rate. Australia is on a road to nowhere. Nobody can get in or out. It’s own citizens are barred from returning home from abroad. FailedState tyranny auspol strandedAussies

Can’t help but think this is a PR exercise after his disgraceful performance of securing covid tests and while announcing it with Greg Hunt, a Chinese diplomat gatecrashed the press conference.

Hasn't harmed you hope

Isn't he just the lucky one? We should all be Twiggy, except we are not.

'Dr' Forrest and 'renewable energy projects'? Who is this bloke? (and of course he feels fine despite covid - Swiss specialist respiratory hospital; medevac in specially equipped aircraft etc). And Australia paid for that equipment he 'sourced'; quid pro quo with China for 'Twigg

It's true. COVID actually is not harmful to the vast majority of people.

More holes in this than Swiss cheese

1. How the fuck is he allowed to travel? 2. How the fuck is he allowed to travel? 3. Of course he fucking did, he’s travelling.
