An expectant young mother diagnosed with COVID-19 expresses frustration at the standard of care, and the supply of meals, before and after her arrival at an Adelaide medi-hotel.
An expectant young mother taken to an Adelaide medi-hotel after testing positive for COVID-19 has expressed frustration at what she has described as a lack of support and substandard meals.She was transferred to Tom's Court medi-hotel last weekSA Health has since apologised to Tyarna Hansen, who is from Ceduna in South Australia's far west and who was transferred to Adelaide last week.
Ms Hansen said the meals she received at the medi-hotel, including this one, were cold and unappetising. Ms Hansen said she and the other passengers were not fed between boarding the plane at about 9:30am and their arrival at Tom's Court medi-hotel at 6pm, and the meals since then had been of low quality.
Ms Hansen's grandmother, Noeleen Cox, said she was extremely worried about her pregnant granddaughter."More concern as they were sitting out at Parafield Airport for a number of hours and nobody was there to help them … without water and without food."Ms Cox said she felt "frustration" and "anger", and "absolute disgust with SA Health on where those support services are".
