Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: We know that our borders are the strongest line of defence in protecting our communities from COVID-19. We also know that around the world the virus is growing, not slowing. With the increase in New Zealanders returning from overseas, we need rigour around our border, and our managed isolation and quarantine system becomes even more important. The system we have in place has worked well up to this point. We have no community transmission, and cases are being picked up at the border. What this review highlights is the strain the system is under. We are working swiftly to implement its recommendations and ensure that the systems in place are able to transition effectively from the immediate response phase to a more permanent solution—and why we are not just rushing out for calls to open up the border further.
