I want to follow through on the briefing document we received on a zero-Covid island policy, and some of the material setting out how we get there. One of the things was making sure that essential travel is important, and that if people are coming here it is only for essential travel. The document says that the responsibility for deciding what is essential travel lies with the individual. Some would argue that this is part of the problem and that it would be better if we had definitions of what is deemed to be essential or non-essential. Why is it the case that the group has opted to leave it to the individual to decide that as opposed to perhaps more clear definitions?
