. @VictorianCHO said today of workers moving between hotel quarantine, aged care & public housing between July 27 and late August: "It was never one where you could just step in and say, ‘You cannot work in more than one setting'." #springst
Except @DanielAndrewsMP *did* tell hundreds of thousands of people, including entire industries, that they couldn't go to work when we went into Stage Four lockdown from August 2 because the risk of transmitting coronavirus was too high.
And yet we're supposed to believe that workers who were ultimately working for the government, in hotel quarantine - the setting we all knew even then had likely caused the second wave - "couldn't" be told that they weren't allowed to also work in aged care homes.
Entire industries were shut down or dramatically curtailed to contain the spread of the virus, and yet the government was allowing its own subcontracted workers to move from hotel quarantine - now linked to 783 deaths - to aged care (linked to 636 of those deaths).
