The ability to skip managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) and isolate at home is key to reopening New Zealand to the world.
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins last week announced MIQ stays for international arrivals would be shortened from 14 days to seven days, followed by a short stint of isolation at home until a day nine test result has been received.
