From April 4th, vaccine pass and mandate requirements will be removed and become optional for businesses to implement. In addition to learning to live with Covid, New Zealanders will have to also learn to live with each other as the anti-vaxxers and vaxxers, mask wearers and anti-maskers start to mix in the same spaces. What impact will this have on a country that’s just getting used to Covid in the community? And does easing restrictions ease our fear of the virus?

Today, New Zealand Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joins Damien to discuss the tensions that will emerge as the country moves into a new phase.
