It’s July, shoulda done this in March. Bloody ridiculous

Calm down. Listen to this informed and objective doctor's presentation on coronavirus and Covid-19.

So many muppets still believing in this pantomime. What will it take for people to wake up?!

Build a wall and make Dan Andrews pay for it 😆

Again, there was no detail of the teenager's symptoms, if any. His family would have been cautious if he had shown any symptoms despite his initial negative test.

GladysB please move on mandatory hotel quarantine for any NSW residents returning from VIC now before NSW suffers the same fate as VIC.

Wasn’t the advice to Victorians, even prior to the Melbourne lockdown & border closure - do not travel? Or did I miss hear that...

Predictable. The border should have been closed before the holidays. All Victorians should be evicted from NSW.

It’s out !

If this causes significant outbreak, it is the fault of GladysB who refused to close border sooner. We have been saying that for weeks.

As if we didn’t know this was going to happen... Wow... Victorian’s travelling around NSW after their gov said don’t travel 4 weeks ago and to stay in Vic. Border closers ✅

It's a pity that Glady's didn't take a leaf out of Annastacia Palaszczuk's book instead of her a Morrison attacking the QLD Premier?

Should have closed the border sooner 🤨 we have been saying this for 2 weeks GladysB

Deport or jail?

What is happening in Victoria?

Ooppss! The colander effect

... they were notified that Victoria Health had made a mistake and that the test was positive.... as in Covidiot from the Private Security Guard not enough lol. serenity now serenity now
