Samoa police are investigating how a man left a Covid-19 quarantine site illegally.
Once out the man tried to obtain money at a Western Union branch in Apia.
Members of the National Emergency Operations Centre, in full protective gear, have been spraying down the Development Bank of Samoa building, specifically the area occupied by Western Union.
The man was recaptured this morning.
Deputy Police Commissioner, Papalii Monalisa Keti, says he will face fines for escaping the quarantine.
