An inquiry into Victoria’s botched hotel quarantine program, which sparked the second wave of coronavirus in the state, has been delayed by almost two weeks.

In an extraordinary sitting of the inquiry on Aug 5, Justice Jennifer Coate confirmed public hearings will begin on August 17, rather than on Thursday as scheduled.
