T?hoe iwi institutes own quarantine system - a podcast by RNZ

Te Urewera has been closed to visitors since the move to Covid-19 alert level 4 in August, but unlike Auckland, it won't be opening back up to the public until late January.
The region is home to T?hoe and includes some of Aotearoa's most remote, and most vulnerable communities.
Reliable vaccine uptake data is scarce, but tribal leaders estimate that just 40 percent of the eligible Te Urewera population have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
With the nearest hospital a two-hour drive away, the T?hoe iwi authority has invested in a system of quarantine that runs like MIQ. 
Te Urewera Board and T?hoe Tribal Authority chair T?mati Kruger spoke to Susie Ferguson.
