Managed isolation contacts
A final update on the people who left managed isolation between 9 and 16 June.
A high number of tests around New Zealand during this period has not detected any case of community transmission and any risk from this group can be regarded as very low.
Of the 2,159 people who left managed isolation facilities between 9 – 16 June:
- 54 people left managed isolation early on a compassionate exemption, and that group has been closed off.
- One person who was initially granted an exemption was withdrawn before they left isolation, meaning they completed their 14 days in isolation.
- All others had completed 14 days in managed isolation and 1,326 people have now been contacted and have tested negative for COVID-19, which is over 60% of this cohort.
- A further 395 people have been spoken with and referred for testing.
- There are also 277 people who we have repeatedly tried to make contact with, including via text and via phone calls.
- Anyone who was in a managed isolation facility between June 9 -16 and who has not yet spoken with Healthline must call the dedicated team on 09 302
