NSW reclassifies three COVID-19 cases as locally acquired after virus spreads in hotel quarantine

NSW Health is investigating how the transmission occurred. The first family is believed to have been infectious between 8 and 11 April.

All guests on the 12th floor of the hotel, where the families stayed, have been retested and returned negative results. Staff who worked on the floor are self-isolating and being tested. All seven people have been transferred to special health accommodation, where they will stay until they're no longer infectious.It's not the first time COVID-19 has spread in hotel quarantine, with a couple believed to have spread the virus to a cleaner and two other guests at a Brisbane hotel in January without leaving their room.

The following month, several workers at Melbourne Airport's Holiday Inn contracted COVID-19 from returned travellers. The 24-case outbreak triggered a five-day, circuit-breaker lockdown in Victoria and led to the temporary suspension of international flights.All Victorian hotel quarantine staff will be vaccinated when international flights resume, government saysSix cases were recorded in hotel quarantine in the 24 hours to 8pm on Saturday, from 8088 tests.With reporting by SBS News.

Abolish hotel quarantine!

Meanwhile ... Trust the science kids! 'as few as 2% to 10% of positive results may be accurate in places with low Covid rates, such as London' Will this story be reported in Fortress Oz?

Wow ! And Morrison wants to open the country to international travel and people quarantine at home .

Yes, no shit. Hotel quarantine in Australia is like a jail you pay for. The foods really bad, windows don’t open, and you keep breathing recycled air for 2 weeks. On top of that, they make you wait in buses for hours with everyone else until they let you out.
