Covid-19: Omicron is here, but is hospitality ready? - a podcast by RNZ

New Zealanders everywhere are waking up this morning and seeing red.
It's a red traffic light for the whole country now, and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has indicated the colour won't be changing for "some weeks".
But the PM also says the country is particularly well-placed to ride out the latest Covid wave.
The difference this time is that the vast majority of Kiwis have had at least two vaccine jabs and the government has been planning for Omicron's inevitable arrival, too. She acknowledges case numbers will be high.
Hospitality New Zealand board member Jeremy Smith spoke to Corin Dann about how the sector will handle Omicron.
