Karachi:\u00a0New Zealand’s Director-general Health Ashley Bloomfield has stated that several members of the Pakistan squad\u00a0were caught ‘mingling’ in hallways while in managed isolation at Christchurch’s Chateau on the Park hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While talking to\u00a0RNZ’s\u00a0Morning Report, Bloomfield said that their behavior was unacceptable and CCTV\u00a0showed the players had not been abiding by the arrangements that had been clearly set out for them.<\/p>\n

“Rather than being in their own rooms which is a requirement for that first three days, until that first test comes back, there was some mingling in the hallways, chatting, sharing food and not wearing masks,” he said.<\/p>\n

He revealed that the mingling happened only once but it only had to happen once for authorities to take a dim view of that.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he said that the positive cases\u00a0had been moved to separate quarantine rooms in the hotel and all players would be tested at least four times before leaving the facility.<\/p>\n

“The team had since been ordered to stay in their rooms and have been stripped of their training privileges,” he added.<\/p>\n

However, it is yet to clarify\u00a0whether any of the six people who tested positive were involved in the hallway mingling incident.<\/p>\n

Pakistan team underwent COVID-19 tests on Friday while no decision has been made regarding an exemption to allow the players to train.<\/p>\n
