It's understood Woods will continue to oversee operations in the long-term when the military eventually steps back from its current responsibility. It's understood Woods has been given the responsibility because of her work with the housing portfolio and work with MBIE as Research, Science and Innovation Minister. On Wednesday, Ardern announced the Defence Force - under Webb - would be put in charge of quarantine and isolation facilities.
