Fake virus quarantine officer investigated
Someone tried to impersonate an authorised officer and asked a Victorian quarantining for sexual favours.
COVID-19 Commander Jeroen Weimar said police were investigating the reports.
"I'm aware of a police investigation of someone impersonating an authorised officer seeking to access into the home," he told reporters on Wednesday.
"That must be incredibly distressing. Home officers will always be in uniform, always have appropriate identification and they will never under any circumstances seek entry into your home.
"Please, if you are being visited as part of the home visit program, by one of the authorised offers, ask for ID, check their uniform and if they ask to get into your home, shut the door."
