The Distinction Hotel in Hamilton will be a quarantine facility from Monday. One of Waikato’s three MIQ facilities will be converted to a quarantine location on Monday as the region experiences a steady growth in Covid-19 cases. Distinction Hamilton, one of three MIQ managed isolation facilities in Waikato, will move to housing local community cases, enabling them to stay in the region. “This change will mean the region has 110 quarantine rooms available for community cases, dedicated to the local community,” she said. At the suggestion of Tainui waka iwi, Distinction Hamilton will now be known as an Amohia - Community Isolation Quarantine facility.
