Dunedin Mayor on possible managed isolation facilities

From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 3 July 2020

The south of the South Island could be in line for new quarantine and managed isolation facilities, but Clutha-Southland MP Hamish Walker isn't happy about it.

Walker put out a press release yesterday claiming 11,000 from high risk countries could end up in the region, specifically India, Korea and Pakistan, could be coming to town.

The minister in charge of managed isolation facilities, Megan Woods, says she does not know where he got that number from.
