Firefighters say they followed strict Covid rules when people were evacuated from a hotel in Rotorua that is being used as a managed isolation centre. Fire and Emergency New Zealand said the Sudima Hotel in Rotorua was evacuated at about 7.30am. The Central Lakes Area commander, Jeff Maunder, estimated there are around 300 people staying in the hotel. The spokesperson said the evacuees were outside for about 30 minutes before being escorted back into the hotel. RNZ understands the hotel is being used for quarantining people who have returned to New Zealand from overseas.
