Hanks is in mandatory 14 day hotel quarantine with the same health checks as everyone else. Honestly who cares if they are paying tens of thousands of dollars to just do it in a 5 star hotel instead of a 3 star one. The health risk is the same, the qld government does not pay for any of it, and the ones run by the government aren’t burdened by having to handle an entire movie crew.The double Oscar-winner and other members of the crew are staying at a Gold Coast hotel that is not one of Queensland Health's designated quarantine hotels. The production has hired its own security so the cost of their quarantine will not be paid for by the Queensland government but the group will be subject to the same medical and police checks as people isolating in designated hotels.
So in other words Ana is paying for personal police protection and personalised Covid tests....
Also importantly, there’s only a finite amount of places available in government quarantine anyways, if they did enter that program it would mean they’d be taking spots from qlders/others wanting to quarantine who then couldn’t even get into the state. This is easily the best solution.
