COVID-19 modeller says NZ not in good position for Omicron, urges ‘scan in everywhere’

According to a Covid-19 modeller, New Zealand is not in a good position to brave an Omicron outbreak because vaccination for children only starts today and the booster roll-out is still in early stages, Newshub reports. Professor Michael Plank says the Auckland Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) worker who tested positive on the weekend and had more than 50 close contacts, was a timely reminder for people to keep up to date with locations of interest and scan in.
