Hundreds of Victorians have been forced to self-isolate after a hotel quarantine worker linked to the Australian Open tested positive to COVID-19.

The 26-year-old man from Noble Park in the city’s southeast returned a positive test on February 3, five days after he completed his last shift as a resident support officer at the Grand Hyatt hotel, as part of the Australian Open quarantine program.
