Covid-19: Indian community outraged at travel suspension - a podcast by RNZ

Some members of the Indian community have reacted angrily to the suspension of travel from their country after a surge in Covid-19 cases at the New Zealand border.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says that, from this 11 April until 28 April, no one will be able to enter the country if they've been in India in the previous 14 days.
That's because many travellers from India have recently tested positive at the border, despite being required to have pre-departure confirmation of a negative test.
Sandeep Singh, editor of the Indian Weekender newspaper and website, says it has sparked outrage.
He spoke to Corin Dann.
