      Dr Queen Victoria Retweeted COVID19 NSW

      Second time NSW have had covid infection from international air crew - this time looks like someone driving van ferrying aircrew to hotel has it. When hotel cleaner caught it from aircrew, that leak should have been fixed so it didn’t happen again. I hope it’s just one case.https://twitter.com/Covid19NSW/status/1339001494792617985 …

      BREAKING: an new NSW positive COVID19 case after 8pm last night. Symptomatic on Saturday. Checking test validity. Likely to be valid. The case drives vans [to and from the airport]

      It seems like it would be an obvious thing to require airline staff to quarantine between flights, but apparently this is only just being mandated and previously airline staff were free to roam around and spread covid. This doesn’t sound very ‘Gold Standard’ to me.

      That is incorrect. The legislation in NSW requires flight crew to self-isolate on arrival as with all other international arrivalspic.twitter.com/JmDkcgrVfc

          Do you think she cares about the truth? She gets off on this crap. She’s a purveyor of disinformation...and I’m being polite.

          Self isolate and mandated quarantine is not the same thing. Did you know air crew haven’t been going into quarantine hotels - with all the security etc? Are you Ok with this considering they’re not even tested for covid? There’s now been two community cases linked to this. Fine?

          This is what Hazzard said. No - flight crew were not being treated same as international arrivals.pic.twitter.com/zko9jjkSq8

          This only relates to flight crew not all airport staff Why is NSW Health tracing the man's movements. And how about the people living with him?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-16/nsw-confirms-new-locally-acquired-coronavirus-case/12988866 …
