The seasonal workers from Samoa who delighted Tasmanians with their singing and cheerful spirits during their recent 14-day quarantine in Hobart were supported by a virtual monitoring system rolled out in quick time by Telstra Health, in partnership with parent company Telstra and the Tasmanian Health Service.

Telstra Health’s Virtual Health monitoring devices were deployed to digitally monitor and record the guests’ health status and to help reduce the opportunity for transmission of COVID-19 to clinical staff, hotel employees and other people in quarantine.
