Woman charged with arson after quarantine hotel fire A31-year-old woman has been charged with arson after allegedly lighting fire beneath a bed at a quarantine hotel in Cairns, in the Australian state of Queensland. The woman had been at the Pacific Hotel for a couple of days, Queensland Police said, before she allegedly set fire to the room where was staying with two children early Sunday morning. More than 160 guests were evacuated from the building as flames took hold of the upper floors. No one was injured, but police said the hotel suffered significant damage. New Zealand bans travel from nine African countries over new Omicron variant New Zealand has joined dozens of countries in banning travel from nine southern African countries due to concerns over the new Omicron variant. Only New Zealand citizens are allowed to travel from South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Seychelles, Malawi and Mozambique as of 11:59 p.m. local time on Sunday. Travelers from these countries are required to stay in managed isolation quarantine for 14 days and undergo testing. This extended quarantine period will also apply to those already in transit from these countries. New Zealand has some of the strictest Covid border rules in the world, with those who wish to return quarantining in government-run facilities, which have limited spaces. People have had to join an online lottery to try to secure a space. Responding to the news of the quarantine hotel being burned down, I am very sad, from the actions of a woman, it can cause many victims to suffer. luckily no one was injured in the fire. meanwhile, i strongly supports the policies of the New Zealand government. I think this policy is very appropriate to do to prevent the spread of Omicron. Indonesia should emulate this policy so that Indonesia can also avoid the Omicron. After I got and used the new vocabulary from the news, I felt that I had improved in speaking English. this encourages me to look for other vocabulary independently and practice it so that my English skills will be better.
