@canefan It is accurate. Radio NZ had a reporter arrive in Monday after the deadline and they told the same story.
NZ officials are relying on people doing the right thing. Possibly because the accuracy of airport temperature screening is considered dubious?
Where the answers given don't ring true Police follow up.

I don't have a problem with it, they are trying to limit, not stop.
Police have limited resource and I thin most people will not be dicks about it. -

In saying that though, if some foreign prick thinks they can come into the country and not abide by our 14 day isolation rule, I am very happy for them to be beaten then deported

@Baron-Silas-Greenback me neither- its striking a balance.

Apologies if this has been posted before but this is a site that people should IMO consider registering with
Basically it allows Moh (NZ and Australia) to track where people who self-report fever or cough live and therefore see where outbreaks may be occurring.
Every week they map these - down to street level. Far out there's a lot of it about (coughs and fever not necessarily C-19)

Hopefully this is a rapidly spreading urban myth - but I have heard from three sources in the last 30 minutes that NZ is going into lockdown from tomorrow.
I find it hard to credit TBH unless they know its out in the community and they think they've lost control.
Otherwise it sounds like an alarming and unnecessary escalation.

That would be madness on current numbers..unless testers have discovered something that isn't public knowledge right now.

That's rampant in Australia. Was supposed to be today, now it's tomorrow.
So many people with relatives in the defence force... -

@Virgil all travel related - still no community transmission
Travelling does seem to be the riskiest move for kiwis.
We just had the same discussion with our son and partner, who cr=urrently feel that they are safer taking precautions in London than going to airports, planes, transiting etc to get home. Add in the real possibility that you could get stranded part way with no direct flights to NZ from UK and the argument makes sense (at the moment) -

Although the above article has Jacinda dismissing it, I'm hearing the same - probably not a complete lockdown but I suspect they may close schools next week given it's close to the holidays anyway, I think that would make sense.

I guess closing schools and shutting down businesses is a bit like going off for rain in cricket. You delay going off for as long as you can, because once you go off it needs to have stopped raining and dried out before you can come back on.
