Why are so many people arriving in NZ with Covid-19 when proof of a negative test is required before they travel here? Yet an arrival on February 7, who departed from the United Kingdom, tested positive on "around day 3/routine testing". Clearly the requirement for a negative test before departing for New Zealand is just not working and needs to be reviewed. All of us have made huge sacrifices to be where we are today in a world where Covid has run rampant and sadly killed millions of people. However, there is a huge amount of preparation for events like these that was just not possible under alert level 2.
