Even if they qualified for an exemption to Victoria’s lockdown, “it would’ve preferable I think if they had travelled rather more expeditiously through NSW”.

Yesterday, Vandenberg Hotel owner Grant Clifton told Jim Wilson the alert has come at a “devastating” time, having expected to serve 200 meals for the State of Origin opener.

“NSW Health have told us to find out what staff were operating that particular night, and they’ve all got to self-isolate straight away.

“I’ve taken a further step, I’ve closed the hotel pretty much immediately … it’s a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour thing.”
