Two quarantine models proposed in Victoria's hotel inquiry report

Two models have been proposed to manage the future coronavirus quarantining of international arrivals in Victoria, with a facility-based model and a home-based model detailed in the Interim Hotel Quarantine Inquiry report.

The 84-page report, revealed at 12pm today, contains 69 recommendations and includes the two models as options for the Victorian government to adopt for its new quarantine program.

The report, tabled by inquiry chair The Honourable Jennifer Coate AO, recommended the state use both the home-based and the facility-based models "concurrently" and based on circumstance, rather than select one model over the other.

"This Interim Report envisages that a Quarantine Program for Victoria would involve the use of two models operating concurrently: a facility-based model (such as the Hotel Quarantine Program was) and a home-based model," the report read.

"For some people, where assessed as suitable, it may be appropriate to use a combination of the two models."

Premier Daniel Andrews today said he would provide an update on the redevelopment of the state's botched hotel quarantine program sometime after reading the report.

"We will look at all those recommendations very, very carefully," he said.

More to come.
