Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: I acknowledge that in a global pandemic many people have been separated from their families and the people that they care about, that we want to be able to remove the international restrictions as soon as we can, but that we want to do that in a way that is safe, and we want to manage our next phase of our COVID response such that New Zealand doesn't end up with a large, uncontrolled outbreak of COVID-19 that could have a significant impact on the very loved ones that they want to come and see.
