After a pause in deportations when Covid-19 hit, a dedicated managed isolation facility was set up in central Auckland for deportees. Managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) head Brigadier Jim Bliss said the Ramada Hotel in Federal Street was no longer in use. He said given the small number of rooms, it would not be suitable as a contingency MIQ facility. Decisions about whether the hotel would be used for other purposes were still being finalised.

It comes after three workers at the Grand Millennium recently tested positive for COVID-19 - a cleaner known as Case A, a security guard known as Case B and a close contact of his, Case C. Last week it was revealed Case B hadn t been tested since November, when he should have been tested fortnightly. An investigation is underway into whether he lied to his employer about his testing record.  It also follows genome sequencing showing a link between two returnees at the Grand Mercure, despite the two arriving on different flights and staying in separate rooms on different floors of the facility.

Genome sequencing showed the virus spread between two returnees at the Grand Mercure, who arrived back on different flights, days apart. At the Grand Millenium, a returnee, a cleaner and two security guards are in a single chain of transmission. There are 224 isolating returnees across both hotels and once they all complete MIQ there will be a review of potential sources of spread at the facilities including the ventilation systems. Bliss told Checkpoint risks presented by the ventilation systems had always been assessed by health experts as being very low.
