A man has been found dead in his hotel room during forced coronavirus quarantine.

The recently returned traveller's body was discovered on Saturday afternoon inside a hotel room at South Wharf, in Melbourne's CBD.

It is understood the man's death was due to self-harm and Victoria Police confirmed they were not treating the death as suspicious.

'Police will prepare a report for a coroner after a man was found deceased in a hotel at South Wharf on April 11,' a spokesperson said.

'The death is not being treated as suspicious.'

The death came as other returned travellers were able to leave the city's Crown Promenade hotel after completing the required 14 days in isolation.

There were smiles and thumbs up aplenty from those travellers who finally rediscovered their freedom on Sunday morning

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services said: 'The coroner will investigate the incident and as such we are unable to comment further.'

'Our thoughts are with the family of the deceased at this time.'

Any traveller who returned to Australia from overseas after March 26 was required to spend 14 days in hotels to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

In total more than 5,000 people have been forced into quarantine across the country in recent weeks, with the majority in Sydney.

The first 280 of those were released last Wednesday, while 1,300 more regained their freedom over the weekend.

Before being released back into the world, travellers must undergo one final medical check.

Those who were able to leave the Travelodge in Sydney's CBD on Sunday told Daily Mail Australia they had been treated well during their stay.

'It's very overwhelming to be outside right now, it's so wonderful - I think I might cry,' Mykayla MacNamara said.

'I did reading, listened to music and stared out the window for hours each day.

'I think the policy is reasonable given the situation with the cruise ships here, but I don't think it will be very effective if people aren't social distancing outside on the streets.'

Margaret Mulvaney and her daughter Katie Brown spent two weeks sharing one hotel room and admitted they went 'a little strange'.

But while being cooped inside for 14 days after returning from the United States was far from ideal, they said they understand why it was necessary.

CORONAVIRUS CASES IN AUSTRALIA: 26,651 Victoria: 19,835 New South Wales: 4,166 Queensland: 1,149 Western Australia: 659 South Australia: 466 Tasmania: 230 Australian Capital Territory: 113 Northern Territory: 33 TOTAL CASES: 26,651 CURRENT ACTIVE CASES: 1,340 DEATHS: 810 Updated: 9.56 PM, 13 September, 2020 Advertisement

'The treatment in here has been awesome, the food was really good and if you needed someone to talk to you just had to call,' Ms Mulvaney said.

'They had mental health and physical health checks everyday, so that was great, and I think it was fair that they made sure people quarantined because so many weren't.

'Two weeks felt like forever. We went a little strange, we did things like eye-spy out the window and karaoke sessions and lots of Netflix.'

But not all had the same attitude to being forced into a hotel room under watch from police and the army.

One man who walked free on Saturday said he felt like he'd been sent to 'prison'.

'The first three days were pretty horrendous actually because you're going from having complete freedom to being confined, not able to leave your room at all, and the food was terrible as well,' one man told the ABC.

'It was just a nightmare… you really felt like you were in prison.'

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday morning that he would be extending the current 'state of emergency' until at least May 11.

The four week extension could increase if there is a change to the current trend of a reduction in cases.

Victoria recorded just three new positive coronavirus patients on Saturday, but the state was warned not to become complacent.

'These are positive, albeit fragile numbers,' Mr Andrews said.

'These things can change very quickly.'

Victoria has 1,265 confirmed COVID-19 patients, less than half of New South Wales which has 2,857.
