New Zealand has 32 managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities across the country with capacity for about 7200 people. Since March 26 there have been 66,441 people pass through the facilities.

An Air New Zealand spokeswoman told Stuff it was instructed by the Government on Wednesday evening to put a hold on new bookings on international services until Tuesday to help ensure there was space available in quarantine accommodation for inbound passengers for the required 14-day period.

From Tuesday, it will be compulsory for anyone planning to come to New Zealand to have a confirmed booking at a facility using a new voucher system, dubbed the Managed Isolation Allocation System (MIAS).

Airlines will not allow travellers to board a New Zealand-bound flight unless they have a voucher.
