Michael Baker is an epidemiologist from Otago University and joins Lisa Owen with his analysis. "I think this is the right decision," Professor Michael Baker told Checkpoint.  "The evidence was coming in that this was not a widespread community outbreak. There's a plausible link for this family to the airport and to incoming travellers. "So that's how it was very different from the August outbreak we saw in Auckland last year."
