A woman who returned from Dubai ten days ago to support her mother after her father was diagnosed with cancer, has become the latest person to challenge the legality of her detention at a quarantine hotel, in what her lawyers described as a "profoundly urgent" application.
A special remote sitting of the High Court was told tonight that 30-year-old Emma Kelly was fully vaccinated and had tested negative for Covid-19 twice before she travelled from the United Arab Emirates and arrived here ten days ago.
Her lawyers told the court she should have been tested again today but has been told she won't receive a test until tomorrow and if negative, she won't be able to leave until the following day.
