The Government insists people's movement around New Zealand's managed isolation and quarantine facilities is tightly controlled - despite more travellers coming forward with tales of guests mixing. More than 100,000 people have passed through managed isolation and quarantine facilities since March 2020. "Returnees receive clear guidance on protecting their own and others' health and wellbeing during their stay in managed isolation facilities. The Government recently bolstered its MIQ measures by introducing testing on day 0/1, alongside the routine day 3 and 12 tests, for all travellers from destinations excluding Australia, Antarctica and some Pacific islands. Earlier this month, the Herald reported bubble breaches in managed isolation and quarantine had been occurring on average at a rate of once every 36 hours.
