Health authorities failed to contact coronavirus-stricken Melbourne abattoir

The Melbourne abattoir at the centre of Victoria’s biggest coronavirus cluster says it didn’t hear from state health authorities until days after a worker tested positive. The Department of Health and Human Services instead contacted the Brisbane based labour hire firm. Direct contact had not been made until a second worker tested positive three days later. A total of 62 coronavirus cases have so far been linked to the Cedar Meats facility in Victoria. Image: News Corp Australia
