Dear J. Armishaw,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 11 February 2021 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

Could you please share any information relating to the number of spots
available for managed isolation over the previous 3 months.

 

Could you also share any plans to increase capacity of managed isolation
and quarantine in the upcoming period, or if there are none, why no
further capacity increases have been sought.

 

Finally, could you please share any information as to the impacts of
alternative options to managed isolation for citizens returning from low
risk countries (e.g. Kiwis in Australia self isolating at home, a
quarantine free zone to Australia) on Managed Isolation and Quarantine
avaliability.

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

Please note, due to ongoing COVID-19 response work, requests are currently
being triaged and those relating to Covid-19 processed as a priority.
Remaining requests are being assessed as per the Ombudsman’s guidance
(which can be found here:
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/news/chief-ombudsmans-statement-official-information-response-times-during-covid-19-emergency)
and processed accordingly.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [2][MBIE request email].
