Mixing up passengers from India from what could be termed green countries is the height of stupidity ( as with what happened to me ). We are not talking about harsh facilities either, we are talking of purpose built facilities a lot better than being locked up in a hotel room!
If you want to go way back to January, we had another challenge. How do we diplomatically threat categorise our closest allies without offending? Without difficulty if we have a clear threat-tiered quarantine system.
- Home Quarantine: Green Country and Vaccinated.
- Hotel Quarantine: Amber Country (?)
- Purpose Built Facility Quarantine: Red Country (?)
Delta variant (Indian origin) in Syd came from the US. Tier system might not work.
29 cases today. 28 fortunately linked, but 12 were not in isolation.
