An Australian man has allegedly fled a hotel quarantine in Perth by escaping through a window and rappeling down the external wall using bedsheets tied together like a rope.
The ABC has reported that police allege Travis Hay Myles escaped from quarantine at a Rivervale hotel at around 12.45 a.m. on Tuesday.
Myles had travelled from Brisbane on Monday without a G2G permit. He applied for a permit upon arrival but was refused for not meeting the entry requirements.
Myles was issued with a direction to leave Western Australia within 48 hours and was told to quarantine overnight at the Rivervale hotel quarantine.
