According to UK’s Daily Mail, the woman, a fruit picker, was already heavily pregnant when she and her partner first tried to cross the border with a group of eight other Malaysians on Aug 17.
The group was stopped at a border checkpoint at Euston, NSW, and told police they had travelled from Victoria to find work.
Police turned them away and told them they would have to fly into Sydney and be quarantined in a hotel for two weeks at their own expense.
But 10 days later, police were alerted to a couple who allegedly crossed state borders illegally, with the woman going to a hospital in NSW to give birth. She was accompanied by her partner.
After giving birth, the woman was discharged from hospital, and she and her partner were issued Court Attendance Notices for not complying with Covid-19 regulations.
Both the woman and her partner will appear in the Coffs Harbour Local Court on Sept 14.
The other eight were fined, the report said.
