Victoria's hotel quarantine program costing more than $1 million a day despite housing zero travellers

Victoria's suspended hotel quarantine program, currently housing no returned travellers, is costing more than $1 million a day to run.

The program is estimated to cost $377 million to run for a single year, figures in the Victorian Government's 2020-21 Mid-Year Financial Report have revealed.

The state government paused international flights from arriving on February 12 after COVID-19 once again seeped out of Victoria's "gold standard" hotel system.

Hotel quarantine staff and contract holders have continued to be paid, despite the scheme being brought to a halt.

The government has given no indication as to when the hotel quarantine program will resume amid mounting pressure from its federal counterparts.

A review is considering outdoor quarantine hubs to be set up at Avalon and Melbourne airports to stop the virus from leaking into the community.

Victoria's Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes today said the government would have "more to say" on hotel quarantine in coming weeks.

"I will leave those announcements to the relevant ministers - Danny Pearson, indeed the health minister (Martin Foley)," she said.

"We want people being able to come home and the only way to do that is to have an effective hotel quarantine system.

"The reboot of that system will be the subject of announcements down the track."
