We wouldn’t be closing ourselves entirely down - New Zealand still receives goods from abroad. As would we. It’s the people who are the problem and we’d need to mitigate that. Surely it’d be less economic harm in the long run to get all of our non-travel economy up and running?
I'd love to know how you are going to mitigate people being the problem.
