A numbskull entered the state without a G2G pass from a mainland hotspot, was taken straight to hotel quarantine. Had been previously denied entry twice.
He absconded with a mate, was picked up 18hrs later. He tested positive for Delta, refused to assist with contact tracing or wear a mask. Five days later the Premier put the entire southern portion of the state into a three day lockdown.
It ended last night. It gave the contact tracers time to catch up and isolate close and casual contacts and blitz testing. So far, no new cases. Masks mandatory down south until Friday.
The border is 10kms south of us, there was a roadblock for three days.
So far said idiot has been fined $3000 and possible further charges pending. All he had to do was stay in a Hotel, watch TV, have catered meals and sit his ass down for 2 weeks and let the rest of humanity proceed as normal.
Our state is now almost 70% double vaccinated.
Life goes on.
