A man who flew out from Auckland to Rarotonga, has breached quarantine by handing over his phone to his daughter for a new SIM card. The man and his wife flew out from New Zealand, arriving in Rarotonga on October 9, and went into quarantine. But the man gave his phone to his daughter, who then took it to Vodafone to get him a new SIM card. Te Marae Ora said the public health risk to Vodafone staff was extremely low. The two Vodafone staff who raised the alert tested negative and were allowed to return to work.
