We have helped thousands of New Zealanders return home safely and comfortably. New Zealand citizens and residents have a right to return to New Zealand, and we help them do so. Those returning to New Zealand have a responsibility to do their part to stop COVID-19 spreading in New Zealand by completing 14 days in isolation before safely returning ho... me to their whnau. Our Managed Isolation and Quarantine system helps protect jobs in New Zealand by ensuring that critical workers and those who provide a significant benefit to our economy can come to New Zealand. Workers at our Managed Isolation and Quarantine facilities are at the frontline of New Zealands defence against COVID-19, doing essential work to protect New Zealanders from this global pandemic. We thank our workers for their hard work and commitment to keeping COVID-19 away from our communities. The safety of our staff and returnees in our Managed Isolation and Quarantine facilities is critical to ultimately ensure the safety of our community. Over 4,000 workers across hotels, the New Zealand Defence Force, Police, District Health Boards and government agencies are working hard to ensure people can complete their stay safely and comfortably. We follow strict health protocols and our processes evolve as we learn more about COVID-19. Our processes follow the latest public health advice and are strictly enforced. All Managed Isolation and Quarantine facilities operate in a Level 4 environment. The purpose of managed isolation is to ensure people do not have COVID-19 before they return to our communities. This is a tricky virus and we continue to learn and evolve how we best run MIQ facilities. Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) became a business group within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) on 13 July 2020. MIQ is jointly led by Deputy Secretary Megan Main and Brigadier Rose King, as Head of MIQ Operations.Read More
