Let vaccinated travellers isolate at home like air crew - Gorman - a podcast by RNZ

It is time to ditch the 'one-size-fits-all' managed isolation and quarantine for people who are fully vaccinated, Professor of Medicine Des Gorman says.
Several businesses have told Checkpoint they are unable to send vaccinated staff overseas to critical trade shows because of a lack of space in MIQ on their return.
One of those trade shows had $60 million of government funding. About nine percent of New Zealand's eligible population are fully vaccinated for Covid-19, with some regions exceeding their targets.
But they are targets that Professor Gorman questions.
"I think it's a time-honoured tradition of setting incredibly low targets, exceeding them, then congratulating yourself on how well you've done," he told Checkpoint.
