Australian man escapes forced quarantine in hotel using rope made from bedsheets
"A man in Australia escaped mandatory Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine by scaling down a fourth-floor window using a rope made of bedsheets that were tied together...
The man in question is Travis Jay Myles, 39, a resident of the northeastern state of Queensland. Myles arrived in Perth on an interstate flight from Brisbane, the capital and largest city of Queensland, on Monday.
He applied to be permitted to enter the state under Western Australia’s extreme border entry rules. According to these lockdown regulations, Queensland is considered a 'medium risk state.' This means only people with essential professions or with 'compassionate reasons' to travel to the state can enter.
These rules are supposedly in place to prevent the virus from entering the state from elsewhere in the country.
Myles’ application was denied. He was ordered to leave the state within 48 hours. He was taken to a hotel in the inner-city neighborhood of Rivervale for temporary quarantine ahead of a scheduled flight back to Brisbane.
But according to the Western Australia Police Force (WAPF), Myles attempted to escape before his flight.
At about 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday, 'he climbed out a window of the fourth-floor room using a rope made of bedsheets and fled the area,' said the WAPF in a post on the force’s social media account. The police added that Myles used at least six bedsheets in his escape.
Myles was able to evade authorities for over eight hours. He was found by WAPF officers at 8:55 a.m. in the northern neighborhood of Mount Lawley. He was subsequently arrested and charged under state emergency laws with failure to comply with a direction and providing false or misleading information.
He appeared before a judge in the Perth Magistrates Court virtually on Tuesday afternoon, several hours after his arrest. He did not apply for bail. He was remanded in custody until early August, when his 14-day forced quarantine period ends. After this period, he will appear in court in person."
