[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 8188450, member: 6716779"] Never really looked into the ins and outs much until this week for qurantine. [MEDIA=youtube]59Gxu2xa5ko[/MEDIA] Short video. Living the high life in a 4.5 star hotel. The nitty gritty. With tourism essentially collapsed (internal tourism, a few leftovers from last year, people stuck here and a trickle of foreigners) the government is using hotels for qurantine. 100 000 people have made it through qurantine. How it works. You arrive in the country and you get escorted from the plane to a bus by the military (no guns). You get bussed to a hotel, in some cases they may fly you to a different city such as Christchurch or Rotorua. You don't get the choice of hotel. You get to spend 14 days in qurantine. You get tested for Covid at least twice day 3 and 11 afaik (could be wrong on the exact day). If you break the rules your stay gets reset back to day 1. If you really break the rules (break out of the qurantine) the police come day hi and you get to do qurantine as a guest of her majesty's in one of our fine prisons. Out of 100k 9 people decided to try this all got caught. You're allowed to exercise in the carpark. There is catering so you can pick from a preselected menu. From this video they're eating better than I am. They ring you up each day for a chat to see if you're doing alright and if you need anything. Helps break the boredom I suppose. Friends and family can visit but you have to stay separated and talk through the fence. They can drop off food, video game consoles etc. Alcohol is provided I think it's something like a six pack or a bottle of wine or two per day. More than I drink anyway (about a six pack/week if that). The cost is mostly free the government pays for it unless you leave the country and return in 3 months eg a holiday. Then it's around $3000 ($2000 USD) odd dollars. You can apply for an exemption eg family emergency in Australia. They're not so willing to pay for holidays. Bit of a crapshoot to get back in as well. Been some hiccups along the way, outbreak last August as Covid slipped through. Qurantine also wasn't run so well early on but they brought the military in. Trending on social media here.
