Alan McDonald: Business leaders want to end Covid-19 isolation rules for household contacts (1)

Business leaders want an end to Covid-19 isolation rules for household contacts, to help ease staff shortages. Instead, they want a test, pass, work protocol so people who aren't sick are able to carry on working. The Employers and Manufacturers' Association's Alan McDonald told Mike Hosking it would be helpful, but thinks it's unlikely the Government will agree anytime soon. "Just with the pressure that's on the hospitals because of both the flu and the pandemic I just don't think the Government will go that way."
