Doctors’ warning over poor hotel quarantine ignored, says AMA Vic
President Professor Julian Rait told Four Corners the AMA made a number of infection control recommendations to the DHSS but they were not implemented
AMA Victoria says it warned the state’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS) about deficiencies in the hotel quarantine system at least a month before staff started testing positive to COVID-19.
The organisation flagged concerns about infection protocols at the hotels in an email to the DHSS on 15 April, according to a report on the ABC’s Four Corners.
