A man who passed through a managed isolation hotel last month was surprised to find just-arrived groups were able to mix with soon-to-depart travellers. "I understand four passengers from our flight failed the day three test and were shipped back to the Auckland Jet Park Hotel [quarantine facility]." Managed Isolation and Quarantine and Ibis Rotorua have been approached for comment about the concerns. Work was also underway on new filtration devices in the air conditioning systems in managed isolation facilities. 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.
