A worker at a managed isolation facility in Auckland has been sacked after a bedroom encounter with a returnee. The hotel worker and returnee have both returned negative Covid-19 tests before and after the encounter. "The rules are very clear - people staying in MIQ (managed isolation/ quarantine) facilities must remain physically distant from each other, and from staff members, at all times. There is absolutely no room for complacency for those inside our managed isolation and quarantine facilities." Stuff reported that when the male hotel staffer didn't return promptly, the hotel manager sent the security manager to check.
