They left the Holiday Inn "hot hotel" on Flinders Lane just before 10am and came out of the hotel with what appeared to be a rubbish bag over their head. Then they boarded a SkyBus to be taken to the Pullman hotel in Albert Park. The Holiday Inn on Flinders Lane is the second Melbourne quarantine hotel to be evacuated in less than a week. A Covid-19 Quarantine Victoria spokeswoman said 31 residents and staff would be transferred to the Pullman Hotel in Albert Park.
