Medical staff who work with covid patients currently do not need to isolate for two weeks after work. They can go straight out after shift. Why would them working in a camp suddenly require them to have two weeks of isolation?
See the hypocrisy thread.....

There certainly would not be sufficient trained staff in Toowoomba.
If you move staff in, you would need to build staff accommodation.
Wouldn’t you just build the staff accom at the same time you build the facility? Basically not a big deal.
