Ill-equipped isolators place strain on Great Barrier Island

From Sunday Morning, 11:43 am on 29 March 2020

Great Barrier Island sounds like the ideal place to isolate during the Covid-19 lockdown but resident Tom Daly, who lives there with his wife and three children, says some people have arrived on the island ill-prepared for what life in isolation really means. On top of that, boats coming to the island are creating strain on limited resources as well as posing biosecurity hazards.
