A prominent medical professional has expressed frustration at the hotel quarantine system in Western Australia (WA) and believes that the lockdown resulted from health officials ignoring the warnings of medical experts.

WA Australian Medical Association president Dr. Andrew Miller has blamed the lack of a strict mask policy and air ventilation within the quarantine hotels to combat airborne transmission as the cause of the lockdown.
