They caught it off the hotel inmates and then carried it back to the large family gatherings at the end of ramadan.
Your local (10 wks at the academy) cop would have little more training in PPE than these security guards.
The big difference in Vic is they allowed 'guests' to have accompanied fresh air and cigarette breaks.
In the other states you were to remain in the room for 14-days, even if no balcony or openable window

I'm just watching the news and looks like cases are popping up everywhere in Western Sydney. Hopefully the shops don't close again.
We are probably going to have another lockdown and I would be very hesitant to go to a shop right now, especially when the same girls are working day in and day out.
Seriously, is that how it all started? Security guards resident in those low income apartment blocks that were working as security guards at hotels, fucked/ interacted with infected travellers, went back to those crowded apartment blocks after work and infected the folks there, who in turn spread it in the city during work etc, and voila.
Yes, that is right. Everyone already knows. The genome of the new viral spread has been analysed and it comes from those overseas quarantine hotels. The only reason they are having a judicial enquiry not due to end until September is to decide exactly whose heads will roll. And also to conveniently put off the press interrogating Dan Andrews.
I'll tell you something else funny, in a literally sick kind of way. The security firm that got the contract to guard the hotels took the government money, then sub-contracted work to cheaper, even dodgier firms and pocketed the difference. It started dodgy, and then got more dodgy. Fuck me.
That is right. The “proper” firm put up a good company front with all the proper insurance, training, etc. that tick all of the boxes under government procurement rules. But will insert their right to subcontract if they dont have enough capacity; and subcontract to dodgy firm with no insurance and underpay staff. Pocket the difference without having to do any work.
They may not have to do any work but they can’t absolve themselves from their liabilities. They have blood on their hands now and a judicial enquiry will provide little wriggle room to escape that liability.
It would be difficult to see the shops closing in NSW unless everyone starts coming down with the virus. The governments are using the suppression rather than the elimination method since the latter would require complete lockdown while suppression would still allow the economy to be running despite cases popping up. That is, it's business as usual but everyone would need to abide by social distancing guidelines.
Everyday we are seeing new cases pop-up around NSW in new suburbs. Started south spreading north. I wonder if every suburb gets cases of infection. Do they close suburbs or the whole NSW ?
At least nsw is better than vic ... bit worried about my ski trip booked in august though
not looking good for victoria at the moment.... might take a few months for that situation to come under control....fingers crossed all goes well in Vic, and NSW too
Looks like NSW has dodged the covid bullet again.
Figures have been in the teens for over a week now.
NSW will definitely not be another Victoria.
There is no big spike happening in NSW.
