The NZ Government change to Omicron Phase 2 significantly changes the rules for managing Covid-19 in the workforce. This podcast discusses the new rules, including:
- What constitutes a 'close contact'.
- Isolation periods.
-Steps to take to best prevent 'close contacts' being identified at work.
- Authorised return to work programs using Rapid Antigen Tests
- Risk, difficulties and requirements for the different return to work programs.
This episode looks at the legal basis for the current isolation requirements for Covid-19 Cases and close contacts. It discusses the impact of current policy which can result in household contacts having to isolate for up to 24 days, the impacts on the individual and business. We discuss the learnings from Australia, changes that NZ is looking to make, including some new exemptions, and the need to update the old 'Delta' rules for our new circumstances sooner rather than later.
