A man has been charged after allegedly escaping Covid-19 hotel quarantine in Perth by climbing out of a window on the fourth floor, then using a rope made out of bed sheets to descend and flee.
Police will allege 39-year-old man arrived in Western Australia on a flight from Brisbane about 4.15pm on Monday, but he had not completed a G2G Pass.
His manual application was then refused because he did not meet the requirements to obtain a travel exemption, given WA is effectively shut to Queensland for now.
The man was issued with a direction to leave WA within 48 hours and was told to temporarily quarantine overnight at a Rivervale hotel.
