[Upbeat music plays while the camera shows scenes of the outside of a managed isolation facility and MIQ workers doing their work. The music continues throughout the video while the corporal speaks.]
[Corporal Taylor is standing outside an MIQ facility fence. He is wearing a mask and his NZDF uniform.]
Hey I'm Corporal Taylor and I'm working here in Auckland. We're in one of the managed isolation facilities and what I'm going to do to you today is just take a little bit of a tour and show you what we get up to on a day-to-day basis.
[Corporal Taylor starts walking towards the entrance of the facility as he talks. There are banners hanging on the fence advising the public that this is a managed isolation facility and with some Unite against COVID-19 messaging and branding on them.]
What we're doing here is just a bit of a perimeter check, what we're doing is looking for any areas in which people can potentially come in or people that can exit out.
[The corporal stands in front of a locked gate. A woman wearing a mask and a high visibility vest and security guard uniform comes up and unlocks the gate and allows the corporal to enter. They thank each other.]
One of our roles here in the managed isolation facility is also entry and exit of this perimeter. So we've got here is one of the ladies from Executive Security that's going to open it so we can get into this facility.
[Corporal Taylor enters the foyer of the facility and uses hand sanitiser to clean his hands before entering.]
Before we move from room to room just making sure we sanitize our hands.
[The corporal walks into the entrance and we see a table with various people sitting behind it to welcome him in.]
Here we have our main desk typically operated by AVSEC also military and this is where the police are stationed. Here is where people check in before they're going upstairs to get health checks before they start their shift.
[The corporal walks up some stairs in the facility and down a short corridor to a room where we see some people working together in front of some big computer screens. Some people in the room are talking on the phone.]
In this room we have the headquarter element of this managed isolation facility, this is where they run the orders group and then begin their day.
[The corporal walks down another corridor to an empty table with some bottles sitting on it. The image changes to show a man receiving a PCR swab up his nose by a nurse wearing full PPE. The image shows the swab being put into a bag.]
Here we have the pre-testing for people that are getting their swabs on day three and day 11, what they do is they bring the guests and ourselves when we're getting tested into this area we fill out some documents and then we get taken into that room to get swabbed.
[The corporal walks down some more corridors to what looks like a floor with guest rooms on it. He walks down the corridor past the doors as he talks.]
So what I'm doing here pretty much is just checking down this facility, just making sure that there's no one coming in and out of their rooms when they shouldn't be, also this is where the food gets delivered. So when we talk about it at main gate when food gets dropped off we give it to the security guards and they come and drop it there.
[A woman is shown delivering a paper bag of food to outside one of the guests doors and a hand from inside the room picks it up and takes it into the room.]
Here we have the kitchen where all the meals get prepared, the meals here have been really awesome what they do on a daily basis to serve breakfast lunch and dinner to all the guests and to all the staff members.
[The corporal walks down the hall and down some stairs. He santises his hands again and we are shown inside the kitchen and see workers preparing food. He then walks through a foyer to an outdoor area and we see a young blonde child riding a small bike around.]
Here we have an outdoor area where guests can come down and spend some time here chilling out and get away from their rooms.
[The corporal walks around the outdoor area which has some fake green grass and a shaded area under a tapaulin.]
In this area we're allowed a maximum of eight people that can be here for 30 minutes at a time, just to ensure that we're following safety protocols.
[The corporal is now standing in the main foyer and we see the welcome desk behind him. The scenes on the screen change to show various scenes of workers in the facility.]
That pretty much wraps up the tour of this facility, it's been really awesome working with other government agencies and really just helping New Zealand protect itself.
[The MIQ web address miq.govt.nz comes up on the screen as well as the MIQ logo. Music fades out.]
