The Government today announced police would have a 24/7 presence at managed isolation facilities from Friday. The move followed new a man in his 30s who later tested positive for Covid-19 had left the managed isolation facility at Auckland's Stamford Plaza hotel. He was the second person to leave isolation facilities in the city in the past week. He said to fully staff and monitor the managed isolation facilities would take between 150 and 200 police officers who were needed in the community.
