Supplied The Grand Millennium Hotel in Auckland was the scene of a bedroom ‘encounter’ between a worker and an isolating returnee on January 7. An employee at a managed isolation hotel in Auckland has been sacked after a 20-minute “encounter” in the bedroom of a returnee in isolation. After Stuff questions, MIQ confirmed the incident at the Grand Millennium hotel on January 7, with the head of MIQ, Brigadier Jim Bliss, describing it as “incredibly irresponsible and extremely disappointing”. Despite a Coronavirus outbreak in Melbourne last July being directly linked to security guards at quarantine hotels who interacted and even admitted having sex with quarantined returnees, Bliss said the risk of this incident spreading Covid-19 was considered “negligible” because both people had returned negative tests.
