A 27-year old managed to escape from a COVID-19 quarantine centre about 7:40 last evening but has been captured.

The man arrived in the island on Saturday, March 7 and was placed at the quarantine centre in Kingston.  

He was subsequently allowed to retrieve a bag with personal items from someone at the gate of the facility, and whilst doing so, he jumped into a white Nissan Tiida motor car which sped off with him.
