Some travellers returning to New Zealand will have to pay the costs of their quarantine, after the government partially backed down from a controversial plan to bill all arrivals for their two-week isolation stay.The costs will apply only those who chose to leave the country after the charges are imposed and then return, or those staying in New Zealand for fewer than 90 days, the government said on Wednesday. Temporary visa holders will also be charged, but New Zealanders returning home permanently will avoid any costs. New Zealand beat Covid-19 by trusting leaders and following advice – study. The isolation stays will cost NZ$3,100 ($2,050) for the first adult in each hotel room, $950 for each additional adult and $475 for each child sharing the room. Megan Woods, the housing minister, said on Wednesday those who could not afford the fees could apply for waivers. She added: “This solution balances the rights of New Zealanders to return home, while ensuring those who choose to holiday here, or holiday overseas before returning home, are contributing to the considerable cost of managed isolation.”
