        In a Victoria and first time I haven’t worn a mask indoors and outside my home today. NSW infection so far with no source, Im back in them again. Simple suggestion people. I make a quick note on my phone every day of the places I’ve visited. Memory can be bad a week later.

        And yes I know I’m not in NSW, that’s not the point. It’s that it’s so easy to wear a mask and that this sort of thing can and will pop up at any time.

        These breakthroughs are really interesting, appear to indicate either respiratory spread in isolation hotels or persistent shedding amongst infected individuals (perhaps GI tract)? What is known about other breakthroughs? Can they all be traced back to hotels?
