People continue to return to Australia from overseas, with many hotels throughout Melbourne being used as part of the COVID-19 accommodation program in Victoria; housing returned overseas travellers for 14 days.
Given the highly infectious nature of the virus and past instances all over Australia where it has escaped hotel quarantine, we ask you to be vigilant and continue to follow COVIDSafe practices.
- Do not attend the Melbourne Market if you are feeling unwell.
- If you are experiencing COVID symptoms, get tested and isolate until you receive a negative result.
