An alleged Covid-19 fugitive has been arrested and charged with a string of offences after he tested positive to the disease before allegedly going on the run.
Anthony Karam, 27, who was wanted on an outstanding warrant for multiple alleged breaches of the Public Health Order, was taken into custody on Thursday in Sydney's west.
Karam was told by health authorities he had contracted Covid-19 on August 14 and was ordered to self-isolate.
But police alleged he failed to do so and provided officials with a fake address.
Police issued a warrant for his arrest after numerous attempts to find him.
