COVID-positive case flew to Australia from India via Maldives and Singapore | Sky News Australia

The man tested positive twice for COVID-19 on Tuesday after developing symptoms on May 8. Victorian Health Minister confirmed the man spent 14-days in mandatory hotel quarantine before returning to Melbourne on May 4 where he was likely infectious from May 6.

Mr Foley said the man flew from India before travelling through the Maldives and Singapore. Victorian Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton said the man had not broken the India border ban as he arrived in South Australia in mid-April. Professor Sutton said the flight from Singapore was “expected and routine”.

Thx god the LiberalAus are in charge of immigration and quarantine!!

And what government is responsible for Quarantine

I think we have already sussed that PCR tests are UTTER BULLSHIT, specifically designed to give false positives, or negative ..depending on who's being tested, and where . .GET REAL PEOPLE, AND INFORMED

Why the fuck are our government letting people in from India thats right its racist if you don't for fuck sake it's just a word that a leftist fucktard made up to make you feel bad well I don't care fucking stop them from coming in now

All this over One Person😬 How many cases would there be if there wasn’t a Travel Ban put in place from India 🦠🦠🦠🦠

I am just not sure why it is racist to stop flights from India but not concerning that Australians cannot travel actually anywhere even to visit a loved one or a funeral of a loved one. Can we all just stay where we are for the moment. It is not that hard many accept this

Bit of a technicality there. Yes, as Sutton says this guy may have arrived home before the ban, but part of the reason for the ban was because people (cricketers) found a loophole of leaving India, going to Doha in Qatar then flying to home. Going to be a few cases I think.

Was he a cricketer?

This is so scary

What convenient crap. Seems uncanny that every time the government needs to back up a story something happens that “proves” them right! 🤥

Looks like he got it from Hotel Quarantine. This hotel system is a proven to be Joke time and again.

mj_slats peek-a-boo. This you?

Astonishing. Indians are so desperate to enter and don't care pandemic, others life, lockdown etc. This result may lead to lockdown & businesses/people are already struggling.

Lol, he most likely got infected in Australia by the sounds of it. Could have travelled from Mars and it would be the same result
