32 facilities will reduce to 4 by the end of June, and the workforce in them will change too, with workers from Defence Force, Health, Aviation Security and other agencies returning to their home organisations for redeployment.
MIQ can today announce which facilities are set to leave its network by the end of June.
The Government has agreed that unvaccinated New Zealand citizens, and those who are eligible to travel to New Zealand do not need to enter MIQ or to self-isolate. This change takes effect from 11.59pm on Friday 18 March.
The last remaining MIQ facility in Rotorua is to be used to support the community during the current Omicron outbreak. The Sudima Rotorua Managed Isolation Facility will be available to support community cases from Tuesday 22 March 2022 until the end of May.
Funding for the 2019/20 summer will be available to local authorities to help manage responsible camping. It will be for operating costs, including education and enforcement projects, ambassador programmes, as well as temporary facilities like showers and toilets.
With New Zealand now reopening to the world and MIQ winding down, the MIQ voucher booking system is being decommissioned, says Head of MIQ Chris Bunny.
The closure of the 4 remaining MIQ facilities will be brought forward due to very low numbers using the facilities.
After 2 years, 2 months and 17 days since its first facilities were stood up, MIQ’s remaining 3 facilities have closed.
