The Ministry of Health can confirm an individual who had been a guest at the managed isolation facility at the Pullman Hotel and has been isolating at home in Hamilton since 30 January has tested positive for COVID-19.
All recent Pullman managed isolation guests have been required to self-isolate for 5 days following completion of their 14 days in managed isolation.
The individual has been isolating at home in Hamilton since leaving the Pullman on 30 January and had returned 3 negative tests prior to testing positive.
The case reinforces the importance of the self-isolation and repeat testing strategy we have adopted around people leaving managed isolation at the Pullman.
