Two women who flew from Sydney to Melbourne while infected with Covid-19 have been thrown into hotel quarantine and fined $5452 each. The women were allowed to board QF471 on Monday afternoon despite having the wrong permits, it has been revealed. The permits were not checked before boarding at Sydney domestic airport. Authorities in Victoria checked their documents when they arrived. They discovered that the pair were from a red zone but were carrying permits from a green zone. In normal circumstances the pair would have been put on a return flight to Sydney but given the time of arrival there were no return flights. They were transferred to hotel quarantine in Melbourne and tested positive to Covid-19. Both were handed on the spot fines totalling more than $10,000.<br/>
