Retrieved from https://ojs.aut.ac.nz/anzjsi/article/view/742744-4554https://hdl.handle.net/10292/15326The attitudinal base of support for the current Covid strategy in NZ is assessed using current and recent survey data – covering attitudes and reports in relation to switching to the traffic light system, vaccination, border-opening, Covid-management issues and the various feelings and views in coping with Omicron. Evidence is compiled, too, on attitudes towards any resetting of New Zealand’s Covid-19 regime and possible pivots to alternatives. As NZ develops its way of dealing with the Omicron variant, the attitudinal and behavioural concomitants can be traced based on longitudinal surveys.By publishing in NZJSI, the authors grant the Journal a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License for electronic dissemination of the article via the internet, and, a nonexclusive right to license others to reproduce, republish, transmit, and distribute the content of the journal.
