Following the news of Santa’s immunisation by Dr Fauci, as Minister of Health I am happy to announce that Santa has been granted an exemption to enter New Zealand this christmas. As a result of this immunisation the Ministry of Health has waived Santa’s quarantine obligations under Sections 7-10 Part 1 of the Covid Health Response Quarantine Order concerning Quarantine. We have received word from the north pole that Santa will be following our social distancing protocols and advise young children that while they should leave out the traditional snacks for Santa and his reindeer, they should go to sleep at the appropriate time so that Santa can deliver their presents. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a restful holiday break.
