Hotel Quarantina
Mark Knight
Mark Knight has managed to make an earworm of one of the biggest failures of the year. An official inquiry into the Melbourne hotel quarantine debacle heard that 99 per cent of Victorian COVID-19 cases could be traced back to returned travellers at these hotels. Poorly trained security guards, a failure to observe social distancing, inadequate cleaning and a general lack of oversight were just some of the problems singled out for criticism.
