Just hope it the would be protesters not the humans who stayed home
So travellers are the reason for the spike of COVID. Nothing to do with BLM protesters. Interesting. This Govt has a lot to answer for
one day we could just identify as having covid, free rooms.
So what. It has been made clear from the outset this illness will be with us some time. Life can’t stop completely. Contact tracing and testing is keeping on top of it. I just want facts not drama!!
And FIFTEEN of those Cases are from Australians returning from Over Seas and they are ALREADY in ISOLATION!
Well looks like that travel ' bubble' won't be going anywhere
Welp, don’t come to SA then. Comrad Dan wants you home!! 😏
Can we please ban all returning people for at least two months so we can get to 0. Thanks
Bloody Victorians
Lol, everyone up in arms over the headline which is factually correct, read the article if you want the details 🙄
Where are the return travellers coming from ?
15 of them are from o/s return travellers!! We don’t have enough Covid numbers so best we bring everyone over to Australia to keep our headlines going! The new normal!!
Meanwhile the Victorian LNP opposition have been critical of DanielAndrewsMP for his well managed lockdown measures. If michaelobrienmp had his way it would have been flood gates open and let the coronavirus run wild.... TimSmithMP LNPfail LNPincompetence
Shut the borders . Make quarantine 60 days so people stay overseas
'Returning overseas travellers' are they Australia, could they be international students. The public should know! COVID19Aus danandrews vichealth
Well that’s just effing great
15 returned travellers. Headline is misleading. Why didn’t Vic health manage this message better. Why do we even accept internationals when others don’t. Would deescalate the locals concern. And the news fear mongering options.
It’s ok, at least we aren’t any where near as bad as any state in the USA, Brazil or anywhere in England
MorpheusBeing Most from returning travelers in quarantine. But where was that protest on lock down
smh normanswan Peter_Fitz 15 are returned travellers? I don't care what Alan Joyce says, I'm not getting on a plane any time soon. They seem to be virus incubators.
High number of returning overseas travellers. A sign that opening up ingernational borders needs to be done very cautiously.
15 from overseas, in quarantine.
15 of those 21 cases are returned travellers in mandatory lockdown, 2 from known case clusters and one from a family in lockdown from existing cases...lifting the resteictions has nothing to do with the new cases. See if you can trace the remaining 3 to BLM protests.
Bit of an alarmist headline. As your article rightly states should say that 15 of those are returned travellers in mandatory hotel quarantine. That is going to always the case in Sydney and Melbourne where people return from overseas.
15 in hotel quarantine
Justifying DanielAndrewsMP cautious approach to lifting restrictions, and egg on the face of the legions of critics.
Ooh media getting excited.
Have you seen shopping centres now
