As expected, the Final Report of Victoria’s Hotel Quarantine Inquiry has failed to identify who was responsible for making the decision to contract-out enforcement to untrained private security.
Below are key extracts from the Executive Summary:
Victoria’s Hotel Quarantine Program ran for three months from 29 March–30 June 2020. In this time, a total of 21,821 returned travellers went through the Program, with a total of 236 (1.1 per cent) of those returned travellers testing positive for COVID-19 while in quarantine.
