I don't think many are "knowingly" spreading the virus. They probably just treat it as a "sniffle" and don't get tested so don't know. Employers need to MAN UP (I know not politically correct but I don't care) and if someone turns up with "the sniffles" send them home and insist they get tested. If they return a negative result then if they don't interact with others then fine got to work with the sniffile. If they return a postive result the employer should be offering an assurnance that their job is safe until the required negative test is obtained. If the employer is in a postition then maybe they could offer some form of assistance like food parcels or the like.

This situation for many is far more complex than "don't go to work with the sniffles or you'll kill someone", it may come down to "if I don't go to work I may kill myself".

7.30 Report had a report that one of the meatworks that a cluster is in were making infected staff use annual leave whilst sick - they're clearly entitled to sick leave. And that's the permanent staff, who actually have leave - most of the casuals don't.

And, a bit of insight into the numbers - one worker they interviewed got infected at the abattoir and then all 7 members of his family got it. And he also went to work sick because he only had a headache at the time.

Not in Logan, they'll be lauded and made folk heroes for their notoriety and getting themselves on TV. :bat:

This is where Fairwork should be stepping in to ensure employees aren't getting the wrong end of the pineapple.......again.

So he went to work sick before or after his positive diagnosis? If prior, I'd go to work with a headache too and wouldn't relate it to C-19, so people are not knowingly transmitting most are just not symptomatic or have general unrelated ailments.

Apparently before the positive diagnosis. According to a report from the UK, the most common symptom of C19 is a headache - and that's not even on the list of symptoms that they mention on the radio spots here.

He and the rest of the three generation family were isolating at home and looked very healthy.

So a little more on the fate of our fish lipped transgressors.

Three women charged under the Public Health Act
Detectives from Task Force Sierra Linnet have charged three women for allegedly providing false information on their Queensland border declarations.
Police will allege that all three women travelled to Victoria and deliberately provided misleading documents at the Queensland border.
A 19-year-old Heritage Park woman, a 21-year-old Acacia Ridge woman and a 21-year-old Algester woman have all been charged with one count each of providing false or misleading documents – Section 364 of the Public Health Act (maximum penalty – 100 penalty units or $13,345) and fraud (dishonestly gain benefit / advantage) – Section 408C(1)(d) of the criminal code (maximum penalty five years’ imprisonment).
Police can also confirm that all three women are now cooperating with QPS and Queensland Health officials.
A criminal investigation is also being undertaken by Task Force Sierra Linnet investigators which is unrelated and not connected to the alleged travel to Victoria.
All three women are currently in quarantine and are due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on September 28.
