Last week it was reported that private security guards had been pulled from a Melbourne quarantine hotel and replaced by police after a health worker raised fears about infection control breaches:
Staff employed by Spotless were pulled from the floor of the last remaining “hot” quarantine site – the Novotel in Southbank – mid-shift. The switch came after The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald alerted the government to a healthcare worker’s concerns that echoed failings of the first quarantine program overseen by the Health Department…
Earlier on Wednesday, a healthcare worker involved in the revised quarantine program told The Age and Herald she feared the practices of Spotless staff could lead to further outbreaks that could trigger a third wave of the virus in Victoria.
