Coronavirus Australia live: Vic hotel quarantine guests at risk after test stuff-up

In Hospital they wheel around a little machine with a screen and to do the glucose test they prick your finger and the result shows up on the screen.  You are "plugged in" via the little doodaa on your arm, though.  Mmmmm

How could they all use the same needle device?

Coronavirus Australia live: Vic hotel quarantine guests at risk after test stuff-up

More than 200 people who underwent hotel quarantine in Victoria have been urged to go get tested for HIV and other viruses after a testing stuff up resulted in possible cross-contamination.
Safer Care Victoria announced yesterday that 243 people who underwent blood glucose level tests while in hotel quarantine between March 29 and August 20 could be at risk of contracting a blood borne virus after the same test was used on multiple people.
“Blood glucose level testing devices intended for use by one person were used across multiple residents,” Safer Care Victoria said in a statement.
“This presents a low clinical risk of cross-contamination and blood borne viruses – Hepatitis B and C, and HIV.”
A blood glucose level test involves pricking a finger to get a drop of blood to be used in the testing device.
CEO Safer Care Victoria Adj Assoc Prof Ann Maree Keenan said the agency was conducting a review to figure out how the stuff-up occurred.
