There has been disappointment New Zealand isn't looking to move away from mandated Covid-19 isolation.

The Government is not changing the seven-day isolation requirement for cases for at least two months.

It's also asked for more work on whether testing to return to work for mild or asymptomatic cases,  would be safe.

First Retail Group Managing Director Chris Wilkinson told Roman Travers this will have an impact on retailers.

He believes the decision around whether to isolate or not, should be with employers.
