A woman in WA’s Mid West says she has been the victim of a cruel hoax involving a positive rapid antigen test falsely attributed to her.

She has been ordered to self-isolate, along with her family, in their Northampton home even though she says she has never taken a RAT test.

The story began when Jasmine Mitai Ngatai answered the door to find several police officers in full PPE ordering her to come with them to the hospital.

They told her she would be arrested if she did not comply. 

Ms Maitai said she, her partner Cecil Comagain and their children now all had to self isolate for seven days and their family was bringing food from Geraldton.

Ngaarda Media understands several positive RAT tests have been attributed to non-infected people in what appears to be someone’s idea of a joke.
