Earlier this month, the Government announced yet another multi-stage approach in its COVID-19 response: this time, the gradual winding down of managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ), finishing in October—in theory. On the one hand, I applaud the Government for providing a time line that people can plan around. But, on the other hand, MIQ is past its use-by date and needs to be put out of its misery, for the misery it's creating, sooner rather than later.
