"A nurse who reportedly worked at Melbourne&#x27;s quarantine hotels says those in charge of the program were more worried about appeasing guests than infection control. The nurse, who did not want to be named, told the ABC that some guests were given extra &quot;fresh air&quot; breaks and took advantage of the increasingly relaxed system, threatening to self-harm if they were not given allowances to leave their rooms.She said a suspected suicide during the first two weeks of hotel quaratine may have unnerved the Department of Health and Human Services. The suspected suicide is being investigated by the coroner.&quot;They were just trying to fix guests&#x27; anxiety, and as a result (staff) started having too many interactions with guests,&quot; she told the ABC.&quot;We should have been seeing them as infrequently as possible.&quot;If you or someone you know needs support with their mental health, please contact Lifeline 24/7 on 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467 or MensLine Australia on 1300 78 99 78."
