But instead only one section of the workforce was told to quarantine. More than 110 people connected with the abattoir were infected in the outbreak. A first Cedar Meats employee tested positive on April 2 and told contact tracers they did not attend work. Workers then tested positive on April 24 and April 26.

"I don't see a problem if they continue to operate post-testing, just practise social distancing," the public health official wrote.

Cont’d proof once high standards-Fairfax Media,hv bn ‘propaganda-4Coalition’, sensationalist,tabloid-type publications f Murdoch/IPA- Costello’s 9Entertainment R publishing biased political crap.Any semblance of factual, ethical news outlet -destroyed.

But handled perfectly according to the then minister! What a joke

The owner is an ALP supporter & financial donor 🤷 always two or three different rules with the ALP depending on what group you identify with, how much you donate and how woke your cause is...

Is that really a surprise, considering all the deadly carnage created by the Andrew's labor government?

Ahhhh .... VicGovDHHS the mismanagement & incompetence that just keeps on giving. How can any senior bureaucrats at DHHS still have their jobs. Their stupidity caused the deaths of 800 Victorians & infected 20,000! VictorianCHO MartinPakulaMP MartinFoleyMP DanielAndrewsMP
