Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: Having managed isolation and quarantine, or MIQ, for every traveller was a temporary setting while none of us had protection. When we established it, for example, there was no vaccination and there were few treatments for COVID-19. That situation has changed significantly, and so now is the time when New Zealand should be reconnecting with the world. Our plans carefully balance the return of New Zealand to a greater normality whilst also smoothing, as best we can, the spread of Omicron within our communities. When we start to reopen, we'll be one of the most boosted countries in the world, the COVID-19 Protection Framework will be well established, and returning travellers—at least over the next few months—will still need to comply with these measures, which will provide an additional layer of protection.
