Scott Morrison's war on the poor and vulnerable appears to have been extended to include the elderly in residential care.....
News.com.au, 31 May 2021:
The Federal Government quietly overturned a rule in November that private residential aged care staff were not to work at multiple sites, it has been revealed.
News broke on Monday that a staff member at the Arcare Maidstone aged care facility had become infected with Covid-19 after working at Blue Cross aged care in Sunshine.
Three new locally acquired cases were today linked to private aged care, including the son of a worker who previously tested positive from Arcare Maidstone, the staff member who worked at the two facilities and a resident in her 90s from Arcare Maidstone.
Public aged care facilities in Victoria, managed by the Victorian Government, have rules in place banning staff from working at multiple sites.
But private aged care facilities in Victoria, managed by the Morrison Government, have allowed staff to work at more than one site.
