New Zealanders react to Covid-19 rules dropping

From Morning Report, 6:19 am on 13 September 2022

The Covid-19 traffic light system is gone and people this morning can hop on a bus, go shopping or visit the library without wearing a mask.

The rules were scrapped at midnight - masks are largely ditched, household contacts no longer have to isolate if they are testing negative and all government vaccine mandates end in two weeks.
