Thousands of close contacts caught up in Queensland’s latest Covid outbreak left devastated and confused.

Over 4,000 people have been directed to quarantine at home during a 14-day incubation period, with a minority placed into hotel accommodation at the state’s expense, after visiting a growing list of exposure sites across south-east Queensland and Townsville 

Anna Morton was ordered to enter the hotel quarantine after being identified as close contact, although fully vaccinated, having isolated for several days and testing negative.

Ms Morton said the quarantine process has been confusing and poorly communicated.
