This has all come about because a woman crossed the border to Northland from Auckland as an Essential Worker but, apparently, this permit was obtained under false pretences. For some reason she had a Covid test in Whangarei which showed a weak positive and then had a second one which was positive. She has not co-operated with the authorities and it took some time for the Police to track her down and put her in an Isolation Hotel. The only places of interest that she visited have come from CCTV footage. She also had another woman in the car with her who has just been traced but not yet located.
There are all sorts of rumours circulating about her occupation and associates but the disappointing thing is that she has caused the whole of Northland to go into Level 3. So far no further cases have come to light so we all have our fingers crossed.
Meanwhile in the garden I have been on Snail Patrol in the mornings. We have had a lot of rain and they are just loving it. The first of the foxgloves are flowering as well as a Pelargonium we got a cutting of last year.
There are irresponsible people everywhere, and until they all behave properly this wretched virus will continue to spread.
ReplyDeleteIt is worrying that this person will not give details of where she went for contact tracing.
DeleteNow the Teddy Bears can raise a Hue and a Cry so loud it will be heard all the way down here. Pure and utter total selfishness, and then to not co-operate, prison might be a good alternative to a MIQ facility, bread and water in limited amounts, or as in the old days, tar and feather, and let her be identified, as others have been..Love your foxglove.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. Teddies have been very quiet.
DeleteIt's difficult to work out what goes on in the minds of some people. I just hope that the strong line taken by your country's leaders will work out better than the wishy-washy approach of our politicians.
ReplyDeleteWe have been doing well in Northland until now. The only good thing is the increase in vaccinations.
DeleteDarn. It just takes one idiot and the spread begins. I hope she's not only confined but given a hefty fine as well
ReplyDeleteExactly. It is bad enough that she came here but the fact she refuses to say where she went is even worse.
