Photo: GettyA homeless man sneaked into a five-star hotel used as a quarantine facility and stayed there for two weeks, claims opposition health spokesman Michael Woodhouse. The hotel is being used to house new arrivals until their 14-day mandatory quarantine period. National MP Michael Woodhouse claims a "reliable source" told the National Party the homeless man pretended he was a new arrival completing his 14-day isolation. Woodhouse told the AM show that although the story is currently "unverified", he said his source is an Auckland-based health professional. When the person was ready for discharge, he was asked for a forwarding address, only to tell the official that he didn't have one - because he was homeless," Woodhouse told the AM Show.
