Poll: Self-isolation after returning from overseas, will they do it?

Reporter Manawatū Standard

Atamārie kiritata,

Palmerston North City Councillor Billy Meehan is practicing self-isolation after returning from a trip to Jordan and Italy over the weekend.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has encouraged a stay of 14-days in self-isolation to ensure people who may have contracted COVID-19 don't pass the virus on to anyone else.

Do you think people will follow Meehan's lead and self-isolate?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
