The Woodville Pizza Bar worker at the
centre of South Australia s statewide lockdown last year is still essentially in hiding and feeling like a political scapegoat , his lawyer has told a parliamentary committee.
Key points:
The worker s lawyer would not say whether his client misled contact tracers
He claims contact tracers did not identify themselves during an interview
https://www.hangthecensors.com/476427.html (Natural News) A pizza restaurant employee contracting the coronavirus led to South Australia locking down the entire state, the
Wall Street Journal reported. Initially, the man claimed he contracted COVID-19 after buying a takeout pizza from a restaurant with an infected employee. However, the man turned out to be an employee of Woodville Pizza Bar in Adelaide – who was working alongside an infected colleague in the same kitchen.
The employee’s misleading claims sent health authorities in a frenzy to find other possibly infected customers. A second scrutiny on the employee produced a confession and narrowed down the possible contacts to trace to other pizza bar employees. The errant worker did not explain why he misled authorities in the first instance. Attempts to contact Woodville Pizza Bar ended in vain, with its phone line apparently out of service.

South Australia s public health chief says poor ventilation, not security breaches, at an Adelaide quarantine hotel may have triggered the coronavirus cluster that sent the state into lockdown last month.
Key points:
A security guard is believed to be the first in the cluster to have acquired the virus at a medi-hotel
The infection may have occurred in a poorly ventilated corridor, SA s public health chief said
