Several Defence Force soldiers have been reprimanded with one even being charged after inappropriate conduct while working at the country's managed isolation facilities. The incidents happened in October and November at hotels in Rotorua and Auckland, details released to Stuff under the Official Information Act show. Four days later at the Ibis in Rotorua, a soldier showed a civilian guard an "explicit image" on his phone. About 75,000 have returned to Aotearoa, with 3500 completing their two-week managed isolation stay in Rotorua. However, a spokesperson for Managed Isolation and Quarantine said a key constraint to the idea was finding the amount of essential workers required.
