He said one quarantine staffer tested negative on their last day of work but tested positive to COVID-19 a few days later.
The Premier was asked if the lockdown might have been avoided if COVID-19 Quarantine Victoria caught the"Whether we could ever definitively know, I suppose the point is we're simply not in a position to do that, because that's already occurred," Mr Andrews said."Well, again, we'd all rather not be here. But I don't have the power to change what has occurred," he said.
"But if you're really inviting me to have a crack at a bloke who is on a machine to breathe at the moment in an ICU, I'm just not doing that."Mr Andrews said he couldn't see what else could have been done. "We have done really top notch contact tracing, and even with identifying cases immediately, people's test results overwhelmingly coming back within 24 hours, and chasing up those primary and secondary close contacts, we're seeing, you know, the household cases who have already been infectious and in the community.What happens with the Australian Open and other professional sporting events?"There are no fans. There are no crowds," Mr Andrews said.
Tennis players are now deemed essential workers? This takes the covid cake. I thought DanielAndrewsMP couldn’t do anything more stupid than he already has, how wrong I was. All I hear is we’re following expert health advice, show me a health expert who thinks tennis is essential
It's only relevant news when these two despicable morons are behind bars. Until then whatever said by these morons has to be considered false!
'You are free to do what we tell you'
Sensible. Reasonable. We can do this... together. I'm in! Thanks, fellow Victorians❣
It's beyond embarrassing now. Andrews and Sutton are out of their depth. They're actually dangerous.
TLDR - This is for your own good, now do as your told.
Car salemens - Not really a snap lockdown everyone’s had 24hrs warning really and you could see it was going to happen with the uncontrolled community spread. Looks like Melbourne folk are super spreaders or just very socially active without following standard social distancing
It is disgraceful that he threatens Victorians with months of lockdown! It is also BS that he claims the virus moves more quickly in Victoria than anywhere else in Australia! How can anyone believe something so obviously not true?! But the tennis keeps going?!
If these clowns in charge would have done there fucking job properly Victoria wouldn’t be in this situation again.They all need to be sacked
Airport cleaner also tested positive.
Key moment “we have gold standard” next minute we’re in lockdown....China will be so proud of there puppet Dan
The ABCaustralia Board is a rogue outfit, and must be sacked!!!
