Dozens of people have been released from a backpackers hostel in Brisbane this morning, after completing two weeks of mandatory quarantine.
Sixty-two guests and the owner of the City Backpacker HQ hostel were forced to isolate inside the Roma Street building for 14 days, after a guest tested positive to COVID-19.
Guests say it was “business as usual in the hostel exposing that plenty of people were mingling as it was just a big party. People went to the pool, drank and just socialised.”
The guests say it was the worst experience of their lives and blamed QLD health for not being clear on quarantine directions.
