New Zealand is mulling tighter restrictions on international arrivals after three people tested positive for Covid-19 despite completing mandatory quarantine without showing any signs of the virus.
The steps may include people having to self isolate for a period even after finishing two weeks in a government-managed quarantine facility, Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield told reporters on Friday. People may also be required to have another Covid test, meaning some could face as many as five tests in less than a month.
