A 28-year-old Perth woman has been jailed in what's believed to be one the toughest penalties handed down for breaching Western Australia's COVID-19 quarantine laws.
The Perth Magistrates court was told she had an exemption allowing her to fly to Perth, but had been informed she would have to quarantine in a hotel for 14 days at her own expense.
She was arrested more than a week after arriving in Perth, and has spent the past fortnight in quarantine in custody.
She was sentenced to six months in prison, backdated to the day she was arrested.
She'll be eligible for parole
It just goes to show that some people are very selfish
If she was a (unknowingly) carrier of Covid-19, how many people could she have passed it onto, during her week of freedom
Edit to say, that instead of flying to Perth, she had a truckie smuggle her to WA
