Returnees who are now out of managed isolation say it's unlikely people will stick to the rules and self-isolate once they leave quarantine. The government is considering imposing a period of self-isolation at home for travellers after they finish two weeks in a hotel. Marriette Dodd is a teacher who went through managed isolation in June after returning from the United Arab Emirates. Joy Mills and her partner left managed isolation a week and a half ago after moving to Wellington from Melbourne.
