Tighter quarantine rules are being flagged for international flight crews after a van driver who transports flight crews in Sydney, tested positive. News reports state that he attended a soccer match while infectious. A staff member at a Sydney retirement village is among two new infections reported today. I hope this is not the start of another outbreak. They need to get this under control swiftly.

One epidemiologist says that flight crew exemptions from hotel quarantine are a risk we cannot afford. Many flights are coming from countries with high rates of COVID infections.

Victoria has now had 48 consecutive days without any community transmission.
