Rita Ora emerges from quarantine as singer finally completes mandatory 14 day isolation period

Rita Ora emerges from quarantine as singer finally completes mandatory 14 day isolation period in Sydney… after breaching COVID guidelines in the UK

Rita Ora emerged from quarantine on Monday after the singer completed a mandatory 14-day isolation period following her arrival in Australia. 

The British star, 30, flew to Sydney from her native London two weeks ago in order to fulfill her latest TV commitment as a judge on talent show The Voice Australia. 

And she was given her first opportunity to leave the confines of her hotel after isolating with sister Elena, who has accompanied her on the trip.

Surrounded by a gauntlet of police officers, Rita emerged in the city’s bustling Central Business District wearing a precautionary face covering. 

As always the singer looked typically stylish, opting for a soft green blazer and matching shorts, teamed with a loose fitting sweater and vibrant yellow trainers. 

Her work trip comes after she was branded ‘selfish’ by British police for holding a lockdown-flouting 30th birthday bash at west London restaurant Casa Cruz at the end of November.

According to current rules listed on New South Wales’ official government site, quarantine is mandatory for all individuals landing in the state from abroad, with the exception of New Zealand.

A statement reads: ‘Under public health orders, people who arrive in Sydney from overseas or by vessel from another port outside of NSW must enter into quarantine in a designated accommodation facility for 14 days.’

Travellers are also subject to a quarantine fee of AU$4,000 for one adult, with AU$1,000 charged for each additional adult isolating with them. Children under 18 are charged AU$500, while those under three are free.

However, Rita was greeted with fierce backlash on her arrival in Australia, amid claims she was given special treatment to allow her into the country.

Australia’s shadow home affairs spokeswoman, Kristina Keneally, said Rita’s hotel spot meant her quarantine was at the expense of Australians desperately seeking to return home.

Australia’s strict COVID-19 laws only allow 4,250 international arrivals a week, which has meant around 37,000 Australian nationals are ‘stranded’ abroad unable to see their families.
