Another Holiday Inn case

Melbourne: A released guest of the same Melbourne quarantine hotel where an infected staff member worked has tested positive for Covid19.

Victoria's health department was yesterday notified that a resident of the Holiday Inn at Melbourne Airport had returned a positive test after completing her 14day stay.

The woman tested negative several times during her quarantine and before leaving the hotel on Sunday. She sought testing after becoming aware of the Holiday Inn outbreak, involving an authorised officer who tested positive the same day she left quarantine.

All returned travellers who left the Holiday Inn that day are considered primary close contacts and will have to spend another 14 days in isolation. — AAP
