Claims the latest case of isolation escapees does NOT prove a failure in the system
27 July 2020
A mother and her four children fled from a Hamilton isolation facility last Friday - in a bid to attend the funeral of the children's father.
The family, except for a 12-year-old child, have been charged with breaching the Coronavirus Health Act.
The Minister in Charge of Managed Isolation says it's the fifth escape - out of the 30-thousand people who have passed through the facilities.
Megan Woods says they'll continually review the system - to protect the gains New Zealanders have made.
