Luxon told reporters on Monday that the current traffic light system is “just way too complex and complicated” and that people haven’t been “paying much attention to it at all”.
“What New Zealand desperately needs is a clear set of rules around some sensible places to have masking. Certainly, we want to be able to have isolation. I think we can have tests to work so that more people can get back to work.”
[…] Asked what National’s rules around mask-use would be, Luxon said he would be guided “by what’s changing in the risk environment”.
“If we think the risk is changing, well, let’s get really clear about how it is. Then I think we need to take the health advice and be very precise about what would be relevant and what’s not relevant,” he said.
“I am not the health professional and that’s why I want to be listening very carefully to that health advice. We follow the science and we follow the health advice.”
