Victorian woman charged and sent home after alleged Tasmanian quarantine breach
A Victorian woman has been sent home from Tasmania after an alleged hotel quarantine breach in Launceston.
Footage circulated on social media showed a woman climbing down from an awning outside the Peppers Seaport Hotel.
She was carrying a bag which she dropped to the ground before climbing down.
Police later said a 38-year-old woman was charged with failing to obey a direction of an emergency management worker after the alleged incident on Sunday.
She was directed to return to Victoria and left Tasmania yesterday following an appearance at the Launceston Magistrates Court.
The woman is due back before the court next month.
