A couple from Melbourne who contracted coronavirus during a skiing holiday allegedly ignored isolation rules and then claimed they are victims of a ‘hate campaign.
’
They were traveling to Aspen, Colorado for a holiday with friends when they caught coronavirus from their friend’s child.
But when they returned home, they reportedly broke self-isolation rules by playing golf, shopping, and going to parties. Their actions just put other people at risk of catching the deadly infection.
A Portsea resident said to the Herald Sun: “It’s astonishing and people down here are just appalled.”
The wife denied the claims and said they had been ‘cleared’ by the Health Department. “We are the responsible ones in this and people have nothing better to do than be nasty,” she expressed.
“I’ll tell you what, if we had lived in Box Hill and I’d been to Bali no one would care, would they?”
According to the local media, at least 16 of the group who went to Aspen tested positive for the killer virus.
When the couple returned home, they attended a party at Geelong Grammar in Toorak as they did not know they had coronavirus.
Geelong Grammar then confirmed six parents and a student at the party tested positive for COVID-19.
Residents claim they had seen the couple shopping, playing golf, and eating at a restaurant despite testing positive for coronavirus.
But the woman denied those claims and said: “We’ve done nothing. I’ve never been to the golf club, I’ve been in isolation. I went to the supermarket after I had been cleared… this is a hate campaign. My children are being asked ”has your mother gone to jail?”. I haven’t gone anywhere.”
