Queues at COVID-19 testing sites have stretched back kilometres in Melbourne with some forced to close due to high demand. The testing blitz came after multiple positive cases of the mutant UK strain of the virus were detected in hotel quarantine yesterday, including a staff member at the Park Royal. The infected 26-year-old Noble Park man had been working as a resident support officer as part of the Australian Open quarantine program. The cases saw premier Daniel Andrews announce a snap new array of restrictions he said were much like “New Year’s Eve” settings late last night. He urged Victorians to get tested and today they were out in droves MSAC stopped accepting drivers after the wait-time ballooned to four hours.
