Victorian Government ‘concerned’ about reports nurses working at multiple coronavirus quarantine hotels
A Victorian Government Minister says reports that nurses have been working across multiple COVID-19 quarantine hotels in Melbourne are “concerning”.
Key points:
- The Victorian Transport Minister said the whistleblower had also taken the matter up through “appropriate channels”
- He said working across quarantine hotels was “prohibited”
- An airline crew member has tested positive in Melbourne hotel quarantine
The Age has reported a whistleblower’s claims that a private contractor asked nurses to do shifts across nine of the hotels last month amid staff shortages, in breach of State Government rules.
The newspaper said the claims from the registered nurse were backed up by leaked paperwork including rosters and emails.
