But while the Government says there are no plans for such a facility, it hasn’t ruled it out. Michael Baker, an epidemiologist at the University of Otago, said New Zealand was world-leading in biosecurity, but needed to invest in human biosecurity.
“Now we have to talk long-term about this,” he said.
