Show Notes

From midnight, there will be no legal barrier to someone going to work infected with Covid-19.

The Government is dropping all isolation and mask-wearing requirements from midnight tonight.

Health Minister Ayesha Verrall says they continue to recommend people with the virus stay home for five days.

Verrall says it's a lesson the pandemic can teach us.

"Maybe some of our behaviour in the past wasn't as considerate of everyone else as it needs to be, it is still good to stay home when you're sick and not go to work coughing and spluttering."
