As reported earlier this week, one person was transferred to Middlemore overnight on Tuesday, while the Ministry of Health said on Friday that another MIQ guest was admitted on Thursday afternoon. Both were transferred from the Auckland quarantine facility.
"Both are in a stable condition and were taken to hospital safely using strict infection prevention and control measures which are in place for all hospital transfers from managed isolation and quarantine facilities."
