The five police officers who came into contact with the woman while capturing her must now have Covid-19 tests and will also have to self-isolate. The Government's head of managed isolation, Air Commodore Darryn Webb, said: "This was excellent work by police staff who located the woman as quickly as possible. She was located outdoors. The exact movements of the woman are still being determined." The woman remains in police custody while it is determined how she will be managed. Charges are being considered. Webb said the woman was receiving appropriate care while in custody and would be assessed by a clinician. "The woman, who was travelling on her own, arrived in New Zealand from Brisbane, Australia, on 27 June," Webb said in a statement. "She had a Covid-19 test on 30 June which returned a negative result. "We recognise that managed isolation can be stressful for people who come to it with a variety of circumstances. "However, wilfully leaving our facilities cannot and will not be tolerated, and the appropriate action will be taken." Every person who arrives in New Zealand must be isolated from other people for a minimum period of 14 days. They must also test negative for Covid-19 before they can go into the community. This 14-day period forms a critical part of the actions being taken to keep New Zealand and New Zealanders safe during a global pandemic when case numbers are constantly increasing overseas. Police are taking all necessary precautions to keep its staff safe. Further advice would be provided to the officers around self-isolation and testing once police had clarified the movements and contact throughout the incident.

Currently adorning the ballroom at Alberton as part of the exhibition 'The Impossible Garden', are richly decorative artworks by Mt Eden artist Emma Bass - a celebration of colour and life-affirming natural abundance!

Inspired by 17th century Dutch and Flemish floral still lives and the joyousness of Matisse, they ‘explore beauty though a manipulated lens’. Bluring the boundaries between photography, painting and collage they beguile the viewer with their illusory, impossible perfection.

Join us for this Talk & Tea and all-round lovely afternoon with Emma on Saturday 1 August at 2pm! Emma will be joined by special guest - decorative arts curator, former director of Te Toi Uku: Crown Lynn Museum and ceramics aficionado, Finn McCahon Jones, who will chat about some of the vases in Emma’s collection, which are a major source of inspiration for her work in her signature 'floral portrait' photographs.

Tickets: $15. Includes tea & scones and house entry. Bookings recommended as places are limited. Email alberton@heritage.org.nz or phone 846 7367.
