Very unlikely cases beyond 14 days incubation are suddenly showing up in Australian hotel quarantine. As the Vic CHO said yesterday it’s far more likely that the traveler was infected somehow during their last days of hotel quarantine and developed symptoms a few days out of quarantine.
It’s the hotel system that needs changing.
