MIQ HEAD RESURRING KIWIS THAT SYSTEMS ARE WORKING
Earlier in the day, Air Commodore Darryn Webb, Head of Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ), told Breakfast that case detection shows that our border systems are “surely working as planned. “
“As I said in the past, we assume that other people are going to cross the border with positive cases, and that’s an example of that in action,” he said.
Webb stated that hotel Sudima had been reserved especially for fishermen, that there were no other visitors to the hotel and that it was now used as a quarantine site.
“We have been making plans for this operation for several weeks, and one of the precautions we took was in an exclusive facility; it just didn’t make sense to have about 230 Russian and Ukrainian fishermen with other returnees, so we established this as a single-use facility for those fishermen. “
He said New Zealanders can be sure that other people’s landing procedure in New Zealand and their isolation was well executed.
“When someone comes to New Zealand, they are at point four from start to finish, so they are happy, we have systems on board the buses and transfers to the facilities, shown there. down there and in his rooms, ” he said.
“We have fitness checks, we have social assistance, we have protection systems in place, everyone is aware of things like hygiene, things like physical separation and the desire to use PPE.
“So all of those things are the cornerstone, so to speak, of the reasons we trust. “
