New Zealand military to oversee quarantine facilities after new COVID-19 case
WELLINGTON – New Zealand on Wednesday said the defence force will now oversee the country’s quarantine facilities and strengthen border requirements, after a slip up allowed two people with coronavirus to move around the country.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she was appointing the Assistant Chief of Defence, Air Commodore Digby Webb, to oversee all quarantine and to manage isolation facilities, including the processes of exiting people from these facilities. “I cannot allow the gains we have all made to be squandered by processes that are not followed,” Ardern said at a news conference in parliament.
