Two people who allegedly absconded from Melbourne Airport after being told they would have to quarantine for 14 days have handed themselves in to police in regional New South Wales.
A 24-year-old woman and 26-year-old man presented themselves at Goulburn Police Station at 10:00am today, a NSW Police spokesperson told the ABC.
They have been directed to self-isolate at their home in southern NSW, while NSW Police seek urgent advice from NSW Health.
Victorian police have been advised and the two people will be subject to random spot checks from NSW Police during their time in isolation.
Earlier, Victorian Health Minister Martin Foley said the pair flew into Melbourne Airport from Canberra on Friday morning.
"They did not have the appropriate declaration material and they would have been heading straight into compulsory hotel quarantine," Mr Foley said.
"They absconded, disappeared in a vehicle, and were next heard of in Goulburn."
He said the pair would be fined at least $19,000 but could also face further action for breaches of public health directions.
"This is a very serious matter," Mr Foley said.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the force would investigate "all circumstances surrounding the incident" with the state Department of Health and Human Services.
"Enforcement actions will be taken," the spokeswoman said.
More to come.
