The Ministry also said the quarantine-free travel pause with Victoria was due to continue until next Tuesday. “This decision follows a formal public health assessment yesterday and consideration of further information since then,” the Ministry said. On Wednesday, there were two new cases of the virus reported in managed isolation. The Ministry of Health said the two cases came from the Philippines and the United States. Earlier on Thursday it was revealed 12 people, including two children with Covid-19 symptoms, had breached MIQ rules over the weekend. The three incidents all occurred at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Auckland.
They say the guest had no injuries and measures are being taken to support their wellbeing. Managed isolation can be a challenging time that affects people going through it, in different ways, and it sometimes follows what may have been a stressful time in making arrangements to get home, the spokesperson added.
Several returnees have attempted escapes from MIQ hotels, the first exactly a year ago on June 4, 2020, when a woman climbed the fence of the Pullman Hotel. She was found a few streets away and arrested.
July 2020 saw a spate of escapees. On July 7 a man left the Stamford Hotel in Auckland and went to the supermarket, prompting the Government to upgrade fencing in all MIQ facilities to six-foot-high barriers.
