Investigations are underway as a Northern Territory Miner is suspected to have caught COVID-19 through an air conditioner after quarantining in a Brisbane hotel.
A couple and another individual located on the same floor also tested positive, with officials believing it was related to the Mineworker case.
Queensland’s Deputy Premier, Steven Miles, who has been largely vocal about his lack of support for the hotel quarantine scheme, stated that: ““Public health experts have explained the risks of hotel quarantine, including positive pressure rooms, inadequate ventilation systems and hallways and shared spaces that don’t have ventilation at all”.
