Appendix One: Positive cases of COVID-19 in Managed Isolation and Quarantine facilities
Travel history is a snapshot from the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) EpiSurv
database. ESR operates EpiSurv, the national notifiable disease surveillance database, on behalf of the
Ministry. EpiSurv collates notifiable disease information on a real-time basis from New Zealand’s Public
Health Services (PHS). Data collected by the PHS includes case demographics, clinical features and risk
factors (including travel history). People are asked to provide the last three countries they have been in and
this information is recorded in EpiSurv. EpiSurv is a ‘living database’ and information about individual cases
will often change as additional information is gathered.
