Melbourne, Feb 8 (TIWN) The Australian state of Victoria will begin testing all hotel quarantine workers daily starting from Monday after another positive Covid-19 cases was detected in less than a week.
Victorian health authorities announced that the female patient in her early 50s had worked as an authorised officer at the Holiday Inn in Melbourne Airport, reports Xinhua news agency.
The woman was the second hotel quarantine worker who tested positive for the virus in the past week.
With a negative result at the end of her shift on February 4, she returned to work on Sunday when she developed symptoms and later tested positive.
Genomic testing is underway to determine which strain of the virus she contracted.
