Poll: Should we be building quarantine facilities instead of using hotels for Covid 19 quarantine
Experts are warning that there will be more pandemics in the future.
Rather than put people in hotels, some experts are arguing we should put people in purpose built facilities.
Professor Nick Wilson, of Otago University’s public heath department, said returnee breakouts and virus spread from hotels which were not built for a pandemic means there is still the risk of another Auckland-sized outbreak.
Wilson told Stuff instead of hotels spread across the country, New Zealand needed a purpose-built facility in a more remote area with flight connections, like the Ōhakea Air Base in Manawatū. Planes carrying returnees could fly direct, and passengers should be tested several days before departure.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
