Ministry of Health officials will this afternoon provide a Covid-19 case number update, as well as potentially revealing if there are any more cases of the new, more contagious strain in MIQ facilities.<\/p>\n

That strain continues to ravage the UK and a number of other countries.<\/p>\n

That variant has already been detected in New Zealand’s managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities since the most recent outbreak in the UK.<\/p>\n

Figures from the Ministry of Health reveal positive Covid-19 numbers have almost doubled in New Zealand recently.<\/p>\n

Some 99 people have tested positive for Covid-19 in managed isolation in the first 17 days this year, compared with 54 positive tests in the last 17 days of 2020.<\/p>\n

They were all detected in managed isolation or quarantine. The most recent case of community transmission was November 18.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 response minister Chris Hipkins this morning told Newstalk ZB that he was expecting the 100,000th person to come through New Zealand MIQs this week.<\/p>\n

“But we have seen 600-odd positive cases coming through,” he said.<\/p>\n

He also talked up the effectiveness of the isolation system.<\/p>\n

“You’re never going to have something that is 100 per cent full-proof but you can get pretty damn close and I think we are pretty damn close now.”<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the ministry revealed there were 10 new cases in MIQ centres since Friday.
Eight of the new cases were in Auckland, and one was in Christchurch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One was a historical, non-infectious, case involving a person who travelled from Pakistan via the United Arab Emirates on September 5.<\/p>\n

They completed managed isolation and returned two negative test results in September but were recently retested as a pre-travel requirement.<\/p>\n

That test returned a weak positive result, indicative of historical infection.<\/p>\n
