States slap new rules on Victorian travellers after shock new local case

Other jurisdictions were quick to slap down new rules on Victorian travellers after a shock new case was revealed on Tuesday.

A man in his 30s tested positive after arriving home to Melbourne. He had just completed 14 days hotel quarantine in South Australia, sparking fears about how he contracted the disease.Victoria’s chief health officer, professor Brett Sutton, said the man had returned to Australia from India on April 19, but most likely caught the virus in hotel quarantine.Source:News Corp AustraliaHe was confirmed to have COVID-19 on Tuesday, sparking a “full public health response”.

Victoria’s Department of Health has compiled a list of places the man visited while potentially infectious, which include a busy Woolworths, and have told anyone who was there at the same time to get tested and self-isolate.The other states and territories have since offered their own advice about what people who have been to those exposure sites need to do.

People who have been in Greater Melbourne since May 6 have ben urged to check the Victorian government’s list of exposure sites and follow their advice.People arriving in New South Wales from the Greater Melbourne area from 6am on Wednesday 12 May must complete a declaration which confirms they have not attended a venue of concern:

Time to rename Hotel Quarantine to Hotel Infection Sites. People go in clear of Covid and come out infected. So much for these abominations protecting the people.

Let's claw back those unnecessary tax payer funded executive bonuses and incentivise the quarantine workers for successfully managing hotel quarantine.
