Can someone help. Perhaps @Snowy if you're still connected with AirNZ internally.
Are international passengers on same flights as domestic passengers when they are moved to quarantine facilities throughout the country (Rotorua, ChCh etc)
I don't know mate. I do know people there but not many of them are working.
I suspect that they do use the same flights) but they are doing distancing still, I think, and sterilising after every sector.
Wasn't the medical consensus that you needed to be in close contact with someone for around 2 hours to contract the disease? Or was that all bullshit to make us all feel better? If true it makes most domestic flights pretty safe.I'm not sure. I hope that is the case

@dogmeat Can do a lot of things (twice) in 15 minutes....
Having a nice chat to yourself?
if you subbed int eh word "interesting" it would be a lot shorter than 15 minutes, or a lot more than twice

@Kirwan @mariner4life old people eh
oh good point. you could conceivably have the same conversation more than once
-
@dogmeat said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:
@Snowy MoH say less than 15 minutes close contact and you should be OK
That rules out all flights but the distancing is important too I suppose - eliminate the close contact bit. Masks just to stop anyone sneezing or coughing on someone else could be handed out before boarding? I dunno.
Aircraft air con systems are pretty good with HEPA filters so it really should be safe enough. -

Probably should have added condoms as well as masks to avoid the mile high close contact. Particularly in Victoria (the state, not the girl that you all know).

@taniwharugby I think the Moscow Circus has been stranded here the whole time. From memory they were in the country in March and got caught with some of the border closures

@Hooroo Fair enough. It just seems a tad risky when there's a chance, all be it a small one that the virus could show up on days 13 and 14 (assuming the maximum period of infection is 14 days). Hopefully that's not what happened to the Korean traveller.

@dogmeat @Snowy unless you're in a lift for 60 seconds and then you can get 71 ppl!
Got to wonder what she did in the lift. Spit, sneeze and cough all over the buttons? Or was my other comment correct about it all being BS and this thing is far more contagious?

These guys are not NZ citizens. they just happen to be employed here. I think the govt has to hold firm or else open the door to thousands of other non NZ citizens who also have worked here, but are currently overseas.
@MajorRage If you have dual citizenship then NZ could strip you of yr Kiwi citizenship. Plenty of countries make you give up your birth rights if you take on their citizenship. However we have chosen not to do this so it would require an Act of Parliament and the govt's a bit busy right now. As a NZ citizen international law says we have to let you in.
As the two Warriors are essentially visitors - we don't. Tough on them. Yeah but someone fucked up in the back office. Not the govt's issue. they can't be seen to make exceptions for a couple of footy players. You can't argue League is an essential industry. Maybe if the Warriors were actually any good but - yeah nah.
That’s an archaic viewpoint and unrelated. They live in NZ. Their homes are there. Their stuff is there. You can’t compare current residents to those who left.
Sure come be a NZ resident, pay your tax, entertain the masses, but then if you head off for a government agreed initiative we may not let you back in. In the meantime we’ll let in wealthy individuals, film crews etc, but no, not you even though it’s where you live.
It is one of the foulest things done by a NZ government that I can remember.
