Unfortunately this will keep happening in our cities until we can get the staff vaccinated. ---

Quarantine security guards not being tested every day (until late this week, according to the Health Minister just then). What a let down. Solidarity from Victoria, we’ll be rooting for you ---

> [@AustralianAerial](#): > > Quarantine security guards not being tested every day (until late this week, according to the Health Minister just then). What a let down. Yep - it’s frustrating that Victoria had a full enquiry in exactly what went wrong, made clear recommendations and yet other states have just hoped for the best. A hotel quarantine worker with a second job driving ubers? Good lord… The outbreak location list sounds extremely vague - like someone spending 2-3 hours at a petrol station, 4 hours at a supermarket? ---

App based QR code contact tracing hasn’t yet been extended to supermarkets, takeaway food, etc (starts next week) so I suggest that is why some of the locations are vague with timing. ---

As someone from SA, this is crazy because we have to scan in at all retail and supermarkets as well as restaurants and cafes. ---

It’s suspected the man contracted the virus on Tuesday or Wednesday. Authorities concede he has been in the community for days while potentially infectious. Man also works as a rideshare driver but he hasn’t worked that since he is believed to have contracted the virus. Jacob kagi twitter ---

Which is a shame as the gig economy isn’t working, young people and people of colour especially, are being exploited for low pay. It’s a fucking mess and middle aged politicians have no interest. ---

McGowan raised a valid point though - its all well and good to restrict people from working extra jobs in the circumstances, but its reliant on people following it. > [@Squee](#): > > App based QR code contact tracing hasn’t yet been extended to supermarkets, takeaway food, etc (starts next week) so I suggest that is why some of the locations are vague with timing. Its almost like these states that have had significant periods of time passing since their last local cases have been slow to introduce measures that have been shown to be of assistance ---
