A security guard at Sydney's Marriott Hotel infected with COVID-19 has been fined $2000 for failing to self-isolate while he waited for his test results. Follow the latest coronavirus coverage here:

On Sunday, NSW Health said anyone who had been at the venues at the same time was considered a casual contact and should monitor for symptoms.

“No-one is asking for an unlimited five years or 10 years,” he said. “Twelve months we think is appropriate,” he said.He said even if a vaccine was developed soon, it would take time for it to be manufactured and administered to the majority of Victorians. He said the state of emergency being extended would prolong “common-sense” rules such as wearing face masks and social distancing measures, which he said had driven down transmission numbers.Craig Butt

Premier Daniel Andrews says he is confident he will have the support of the Parliament to extend Victoria's state of emergency.He said the most logical and prudent thing to do was to ensure the rules aimed at reducing the spread of coronavirus would still be in place after September 13, when Melbourne's stage four lockdown is due to end.

May I suggest these lowlife ignorant individual be sacked from their jobs and fine $10k to learn not to flout the rules. Their ignorant could cause a serious second wave just like VIC!

As a would-be repatriate, I’d rather see security guards given face masks and made to wear them than this punitive response for a vulnerable, low paid worker. IStillCallAustraliaHome but it feels like the place is off kilter.

I might suggest the guard be given 14 days forced quaranteen in gaol but that would be a reward, the food in gaol is much better than hotel quaranteen.

At the beginning of this pandemic didn’t the Govt say it was $18,000 fine & 6 months in gaol? Now only $2,000 fine. auspol Australia

He will be near-illiterate.

Surely this is all the direct responsibility of .GladysB She should resign immediately and her whole government along with her Or do different standards apply in NSW & Victoria

I can't believe Dan Andrews hired this specific security guard. I mean, while interviewing this security guard did Dan Andrews not ask him if he was going to obey the rules? This Dan Andrews guy - honestly. Even manages to stuff up in Sydney

Those selfish people who waiting for their covid19 testing results or feeling ill but still leave their home. They are causing others sick and dead. This is also a huge impact to economy pandemic
