New Zealand officials are reviewing security at mandatory quarantine hotels after a man who tested positive for Covid-19 escaped and spent an hour wandering city streets.

The man left his quarantine at an inner city Auckland hotel late Tuesday and visited a nearby grocery store before returning, Health Minister Chris Hipkins told reporters. His positive test result for the virus was received on Wednesday.

“The advice I have had from officials is that the public health risk is very low,” said Hipkins. “There is no evidence at this point that the person has come into contact with people while they were out on their walk, and also they were asymptomatic. The combination of those factors creates a very low risk profile.”
