Travellers arriving into Australia from March 28 were placed into quarantine for 14 days in a move introduced to combat the spread of the coronavirus from overseas sources. Several city-centre hotels, including the Novotel, Swissotel and Intercontinental in Sydney, and the Crown Promenade in Melbourne, were used to house returning residents during the quarantine period. This footage from Joseph Cugno, filmed at the Crown Promenade on March 29, shows the conditions inside his hotel room and the meal service provided during his period in isolation. Cugno said the quarantine experience had been positive despite some complaints made by others. “Headlines like hotel hell, It’s absolute nonsense. We’re in 5-star hotels … you can get cabin fever, but to equate this situation to hell or to compare it to prisons is stupid and puts down the hard work people have put in place for us to make this mad situation as comfortable as possible,” Cugno told Storyful.
