Covid deaths soar to 141; Bloomfield defends isolation rules, says health system staff feeling pressure

Experts weigh in on Air NZ-funded research into modelling relaxed Covid-19 border rules

• Source:  1 NEWS Research which has been funded by Air New Zealand has modelled the effect of selectively relaxing our border restrictions depending on each country’s Covid-19 risk levels, but experts have acknowledged its weaknesses. The study is a model of how New Zealand could manage international arrivals by their country of origin and suggests we could offer quarantine-free travel or shorter stays in quarantine to arrivals from some less Covid-afflicted areas. Professor Shaun Hendy, who leads Te Pūnaha Matatini’s Covid-19 modelling programme, said the framework outlined by the model was “impractical”. Hendy said the methodology described in the paper was “sound, although the practicality of using reported fatalities in order to categorise traveller risk is questionable”.
