Dr Coleman “....new cases were likely to be diagnosed in Australia and the ACT.” Australia and the ACT!

all these people trickling back from overseas with covid19

We should protest

There are various modes of quarantine. Was new case in household quarantine or hotel quarantine? Important detail in terms of community transmission. I’m presuming they were in household quarantine given you say small number of close contacts are now in precautionary quarantine

How and why are we letting people come into Australia without showing they aren’t infected. Surely this would have to be a prerequisite before boarding a plane to Australia.

Protests are over & the ABC is going back to the dangers of covid.

ACT First case in more than a month from overseas would have been the correct headline
