An Invercargill animal control officer who licked his fingers and wiped them down his workplace reception window the day he was told he had recovered from Covid-19 has lost his job and been fined $1500. Michael James Murdoch, who had interim name suppression, appeared in the Invercargill District Court on Thursday for sentencing on a charge of failing to comply with a medical officer of health requirement to stay at home unless it was for essential personal movement or an essential permitted movement.
