Crime by Heath Parkes-Hupton 17th Mar 2021 2:30 PM NSW Police have dropped charges against two Queensland women who passed through Sydney before they allegedly lied about travelling to Melbourne during the city s COVID-19 outbreak. Authorities in Queensland charged Diana Lasu and Olivia Muranga in July with fraud and providing false documents after they allegedly fibbed to avoid the 14-day self-isolation period after returning from Victoria. The case sparked outrage in the sunshine state when it emerged both women had contracted coronavirus in Melbourne, where they attended a house party. They infected at least three other people and sent the state s contact tracers scrambling.
