Dunedin, Invercargill pushed for managed isolation use ahead of Queenstown

From Checkpoint, 5:46 pm on 7 July 2020

The Southern DHB is pushing for Dunedin and Invercargill to be used for managed isolation ahead of Queenstown, due to concerns about its lack of medical facilities. The DHB has been meeting today to discuss plans by the government to expand its facilities to the bottom of the South Island. It says there isn't the medical care available in the resort town - but the government's not ruling Queenstown out of the running just yet.
