From Morning Report, 7:49 am on 1 November 2021

Tonga's government is considering a lockdown after a person who arrived from New Zealand last week tested positive for Covid-19.

The positive case was a passenger on a repatriation flight from Christchurch - with 215 people onboard.

The small Pacific kingdom has been one of few countries to be free of the virus.
