The Minister in charge of isolation facilities has condemned the five people who broke out of a Hamilton hotel.
Megan Woods says an adult and four children climbed a fence and ran away from the Distinction Hotel at around seven last night.
Four were found soon after, but one remained on the loose until this morning.
The group is now under police supervision at the hotel.
Minister Woods says their behaviour is incredibly irresponsible... and they will face the consequences for putting New Zealanders at risk of Covid 19.
It's the second break-out from the Distinction Hotel, two weeks ago a man left the facility to buy alcohol.
