Anne 1.1.2
In other words Case L (described as a woman but sounds more of a teenager) only took notice of what she wanted to hear/read and ignored the plethora of other advice including official advice which has been out there everywhere on a daily basis for the past 12 months which in a nutshell is:
If you are a contact of an infected person or you attended – or someone in your family attended – the same school, university, church, sports club, place of work, concert etc. or you were present at a particular venue or shop or mall or wherever at the same time as an infected person then go and get tested pronto and bloody well isolate for the next 14 days (or whatever it is) and if you need financial assistance get in touch with Winz.

A collective of five prominent Māori organisations is advising the government on how best to uphold the Treaty of Waitangi in the designing of new environmental laws.
The Crown and a single kaumātua, Rore Stafford, are the final players in a long-running legal fight that decides the future of thousands of hectares of Nelson land. He wants to sit down with the Crown – but the High Court beckons. Negotiations over the return of thousands of hectares of Nelson land have hit a wall with local Māori asking for a little understanding from a Labour government they thought was dedicated to “kindness”.

Ngāi Tahu is seeking a declaration of rangatiratanga over fresh water in its territories, which includes the Waimakariri River.
Ngāi Tahu’s Dr Te Maire Tau has called for fewer hui and more moral backbone from the Crown as a big North Island iwi player joins the South Island tribe s freshwater court action against the Crown. Tau, one of the iwi’s leaders, says the “problem of water” is caused by decades of governmental failure and that Ngāi Tahu expects some level of regulatory, economic and fiscal control over water. Last November, Ngāi Tahu lodged a claim in the High Court at Christchurch seeking recognition of its rangatiratanga over the freshwater in its tribal area. Last week Ngāti Kahungunu, the country’s third largest iwi covering parts of Hawke s Bay and Wairarapa, joined it in the action.
