The woman, who had arrived from Dubai on October 7, was caught on CCTV walking through the city center.
An investigation into his escape is underway and charges are likely to be filed.
Air Commodore Darryn Webb, chief of quarantine and managed isolation, said the woman was able to escape because security guards who were normally posted near the fire exit were elsewhere on October 7 due to a “local decision.”
He explained that all emergency exits that cannot be monitored by CCTV or that are not normally alarmed are monitored by security guards posted near them.
Webb said the woman was examined Friday morning after her escape and the result was negative.
He also tested negative on October 1 in a pre-flight test and received clearance to fly.
His next test is scheduled for Saturday, which will coincide with his routine test on day three.
Webb said the test was “reassuring” before arrival and that on Friday it was negative and the woman was asymptomatic.
He said police and staff who came into contact with the woman followed standard Covid-19 procedures.
However, the public health assessment was ongoing while interviews and investigations continue to identify the nature of any contact with people outside the hotel.
A permanent security presence has been established outside of the woman’s room to ensure that she remains in the facility.
