Doctor says mask use is vital for returning New Zealanders

From Midday Report, 12:17 pm on 29 June 2020

Officials are considering imposing further measures on returning New Zealanders in managed isolation, following a review into the system at the border.

The review found the system to be under extreme stress - but not broken.

Removing the option of exercising outside for the first three days of isolation will be discussed, as will increasing the use of masks.
