Immunologist Shalin Naik was one of several punters at Collingwood brewery Stomping Ground the Monday after Christmas.
Just a week later, he received a text from the pub telling him he'd attended at the same time as a confirmed coronavirus case — but it would take another two days before health authorities reached out.
"It was a text addressed to the wrong name. Someone called Emma, instead of me," Dr Naik said.
