Health experts have told Victoria’s hotel quarantine inquiry on Aug. 17 that “misleading” and confusing” COVID-19 training and PPE advice was given to private security guards to use in Melbourne’s hotel.
Head of Infectious Diseases at Austin Heath, Lindsay Grayson told the inquiry that the 30-minute training module provided by the Australian Department of Health for private security guards contained inadequate advice on personal protective equipment usage creating a considerable risk of COVID-19 transmission from returnees.
