Seven sites in Sunbury were listed as high-risk COVID-19 exposure sites yesterday after a food and beverage hotel quarantine worker at Melbourne Airport’s Holiday Inn tested positive for coronavirus. The food and beverage worker developed symptoms on Saturday, but was only tested on Tuesday after being told she was a close contact of another case.
