New Zealand's caution around Covid-19 remains high

From Sunday Morning, 8:15 am on 13 February 2022

As New Zealand waits and watches the potential spread of the contagious Omicron variant, Research New Zealand polled Kiwis on whether they are taking a more cautious approach and avoiding activities due to concerns about catching Omicron. The key findings showed that New Zealanders are still very concerned about catching Covid, with over 50% of people having either stopped, or significantly scaled back, attending events where there are large numbers of people, eating out, and using public facilities like libraries or swimming pools. Research New Zealand Managing Partner Emanuel Kalafatelis joins the show to cover off the results of the survey.
