The MIQ lunacy continues despite zero Covid cases from vaccinated travellers from Australia

From Parliament:

CHRIS BISHOP (National) to the Minister for COVID-19 Response: How many fully vaccinated people, if any, who have travelled from Australia since 23 August 2021 have tested positive for COVID-19 in New Zealand, and how many travellers from Australia have completed stays in managed isolation and quarantine since 23 August 2021?

Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): It’s important to remember that the entire outbreak that we are dealing with right now, which has over 7,000 cases associated with it, stems from a single traveller traveling from Australia to New Zealand.

That single traveler was not required to produce a negative Covid-19 test, in a fit of Government incompetence.

I’m advised that between 23 August and 15 November, 2,544 travellers from Australia have completed stays in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ); three of these people tested positive—none of those people were vaccinated.

So of 2,544 travelers from Australia over four months, there have been zero positive tests from fully vaccinated travelers.

We now have around 4,000 people who are active Covid-19 cases who are isolating at home, and the Government thinks that fully vaccinated travellers from Australia need to spend 10 days in MIQ, as it is too risky otherwise!!
