Being in managed isolation

Being in managed isolation

What to expect when you are in managed isolation.

Entering managed isolation

The purpose of managed isolation is to ensure people do not have COVID-19 before they return to our communities.

  • Welcome pack | He mōkī whakatau

Staying in a managed isolation facility

You will be assigned a room in a managed isolation facility for the duration of your stay. This will take into account how many people are with you.

Leaving isolation

Advice on when you will be able to leave managed isolation.

Charges for managed isolation

Managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) charges allow the Government to recover some of the costs for MIQ. The aim of the charges is to share the costs in a way that fairly reflects the benefits to both the New Zealand public of having a robust system, and those who leave and enter the country.

  • Room configurations - charges
  • Critical workers - charges
  • Temporary entry class visa holders - charges

Exemptions from managed isolation

People entering New Zealand must stay in managed isolation or quarantine to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Only a small group of people are exempt from being in managed isolation.

  • Exemption to join someone in managed isolation
  • Exemption to transit through New Zealand
  • Exemption for medical reasons
  • Exemption for exceptional circumstances

Isolation facilities

All facilities used for isolation and quarantine are carefully selected and closely monitored to keep New Zealand safe.

  • Facility locations
  • On-site staff

Quarantine

If you have COVID-19, or if there is reason to believe you might have COVID-19, then you will need to stay in a quarantine facility for at least 14 days.
