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.
Poor communication from the Victorian Health Department has left several Melbourne venue owners frustrated and concerned after coronavirus cases were connected with their premises.
