WA govt report advised quarantine hotel linked to outbreak was ‘not suitable’ for use

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan has hit out at the Commonwealth over hotel quarantine, but the AMA President says the WA government knew about the issues with its quarantine hotels and did nothing to solve it. The Perth and Peel regions in WA were sent into a three-day snap lockdown after a returning Australian who travelled to India for a wedding tested positive after his 14-day quarantine and after spending five days in the community. The McGowan government requested its international arrival cap be halved for a month, which was accepted by the Commonwealth. The premier, though, said he may not return the cap to 1025 after the month period has ended unless the Morrison government provides additional assistance. Australian Medical Association President Omar Khorshid said the most recent hotel quarantine outbreak was “very similar” to the one which occurred in February. He said the outbreak was linked to “early transmission of the virus between rooms” in a hotel which the government’s own report “had already advised was not suitable for hotel quarantine”.
