The article doesn't clarify well how long any one person stays and I think that is intentional throughout the article.
Nice how they malign people "escaping" quarantine as if they are mentally ill or substance addicts because that would be the only reason a person wouldn't want to be imprisoned and "managed". Oh and to stop people from escaping they think maybe they should just cure, say, the nicotine addiction? And why couldn't these people obtain cigarettes while in quarantine? Not an approved purchase?
"Prof Baker says we need to look at why these people feel the need to escape from the isolation facilities.
"Sometimes, it's people have problems with all the stress. They may have psychiatric illness. They may have a substance addiction - nicotine, alcohol or something else. And so we need to identify ways of avoiding that problem," he tells Shepherd."
They also think that to prevent foreign visitors from "absconding" from quarantine, they need to profile travelers. I put a portion in bold text that reminded me of FVEYE (five eyes intel cooperation between US, UK, NZ, AU etc.)
"On Thursday, ACT leader David Seymour said the Government needs to start profiling travellers based on their risk of absconding - especially looking at those with criminal records.
"The vast majority of people entering New Zealand will pose absolutely no risk of absconding from managed isolation and quarantine facilities," he said in a statement.
"But a tiny minority will be a risk. The Government should be using the information at its disposal to figure out who those travellers are most likely to be and place them under tighter security."
