Coronavirus breach at Sydney Airport | St George & Sutherland Shire Leader | St George, NSW – St George and Sutherland Shire Leader

Passengers from Melbourne disembarked on Tuesday night at Sydney Airport without undergoing health screening for coronavirus.
A leaked email claims Jetstar breached NSW Government health orders by allowing travellers on flight JQ520, to get off without being checked.
The ABC claimed the Sydney Airport email said: “The final JQ flight arrived and staff enabled disembarkation without NSW Health and police in attendance, breaching the arrivals screening protocols.”
NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant confirmed on Wednesday there had been “an issue” at the airport.
She said health authorities were now in the process of tracing the passengers on the flight.
Under new public health orders, which came into force on Wednesday, people who have been in Victoria must self-isolate for 14 days immediately after entering NSW.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said all passengers arriving from Victoria at Sydney Airport and Central Station should undergo mandatory screening.
“Any passengers who display any COVID-19 symptoms, no matter how mild, are tested for the virus and directed to self-isolate,” he said
“Any passenger who is identified as coming from a hotspot and does not meet the very strict eligibility for travel is directed to NSW Police officers.”
