There are unanswered questions surrounding how a man was able to fly from lockdown in Perth to Auckland without being stopped by authorities.
The man who travelled from Perth to New Zealand while travel was temporarily suspended from Western Australia will need to pay for his stay in managed isolation. In late April, health authorities revealed a man flew from Perth to Sydney and on to Auckland, in breach of travel rules, while the Perth/Peel region was under a Covid-19 three-day lockdown. He travelled on to Northland, before being moved to a managed isolation facility in Auckland. It was earlier unclear whether he would need to pay for his stay in managed isolation.

A total of 172,564 people have received their
first doses of the vaccine, an increase of 31,984 from last
Wednesday’s figure of 140,580.
A total of 60,024
people have received a second dose and are now fully
vaccinated.
In the past seven days to Tuesday 27 April
2021 we administered 47,981 vaccination doses to people.
This is slightly higher than the 47,845 vaccinations
administered in the previous seven days. Overall, DHBs are
tracking slightly ahead of plan.
We are also adding to
our stocks of the Pfizer vaccination. We have received
around 685,620 doses into the country – enough to
vaccinate more than 342,000 people with the two doses
