If you bothered to read the updates provided by the Health Dept, you would know the two infected workers at the quarantine hotels did NOT cause a wider outbreak. All their close contacts were traced and isolated and either tested negative or were isolated while they were infectious. Genetic testing showed the outbreak that is now starting to accelerate originated with the returned traveller from Tasmania.
