It’s the end of September (Covid has been in Australia since January), Melbourne is still in lockdown (the longest in the world), hundreds of thousands are out of work, penalties are about to rise to $5000 for breaching restrictions, but the Premier says we are “winning.”
Am I hearing this right? A woman who tested POSITIVE to COVID-19 in Victoria’s hotel quarantine was allowed out on day 10?! It’s now been revealed the woman has the UK strain and is in QLD. Did Victoria not learn anything from the hotel quarantine mistakes last year?!
