MIQ escapee sent home early as not enough rooms

Newshub reports:

Newshub can reveal the man who allegedly escaped from quarantine (MIQ) earlier this month was released early from MIQ and sent home without spending a full 14 days in a facility.

And it’s not just him. The Ministry of Health admits quarantine facilities in Auckland aren’t yet following strict new 14-day Delta rules because of capacity constraints. …

Not only was he set free early, but he wasn’t tested.

I’m not sure what is worse – sending him home four days early, or doing it without testing him.
