Professor Sutton tweeted in the morning that he was in quarantine at home.
“Not feeling well today — runny nose, sore throat and headache.
“Tested for #COVID-19 and at home until I get my result. Just like 4.5 million Victorians have done. Great job by @VicGovDH test site in Wantirna South. Thanks team.”
Professor Sutton, who lives in the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne, tweeted again in the evening: “Aaaaand, a negative result. Thanks for all your kind wishes.
