New Zealand coronavirus quarantine facility, cutting through a fence to go to the liquor store.Officials say a man in his 50s, who arrived from Australia on July 1, cut through a 1.8-metre fence to break out of his temporary isolation spot at the Distinction Hotel on the country’s North island.According to a statement released on Friday by Air Commodore Darryn Webb, the man previously tested negative twice from the novel coronavirus.
He’s not in police custody and will appear in court on Friday.“Initial information suggests an individual cut through fence ties at the 1.8-metre fence to break out of the facility, and returned to the facility sometime after that,” the statement reads.
