Expert questions findings of Brisbane hotel quarantine coronavirus cluster investigation
Concerns have been raised about the probe into Brisbane’s Hotel Grand Chancellor coronavirus cluster, with a senior hygienist saying its findings are lacking a “crucial” level of expertise.
Key points:
- Occupational hygienist Kate Cole questions the report’s findings on airborne transmission
- She says critical experts were not consulted in the review process
- Immunology expert Nigel McMillan says many of the report’s recommendations should have been in place already
The report concluded there were “no specific findings of airborne transmission”.
But the president-elect of the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists, Kate Cole, said some aspects of potential transmission of COVID-19 within the hotel floor did not receive enough attention.
