Coronavirus: Taranaki checkpoints stop hundreds of vehicles

From Morning Report, 7:46 am on 29 April 2020

Iwi volunteers at a new checkpoint in South Taranaki say they have stopped hundreds of vehicles who shouldn't be driving under Alert Level 3.

They say they are concerned that people have dropped their guards, after discovering foreigners who are travelling the country and locals who have returned from a holiday over long-weekend.
