Research contracted by the aviation sector models the effect of selectively relaxing our border restrictions depending on each country’s Covid-19 risk level.
It is a model of how we could manage international arrivals by their country of origin, and suggests we could offer quarantine-free travel or shorter stays in quarantine to arrivals from some less Covid-afflicted areas.

In the face of unprecedented global demand for medical resources, Assistant Professor in Engineering Management and Decision Sciences at the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), Dr. Luluwah Al Fagih, has developed a game theory-based model that can be deployed to enhance stock management of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Dr. Al Fagih is the lead author for research that suggests the shortages in PPE, which have arisen in many countries during the pandemic, may not necessarily be the result of a national shortage but rather the inefficient distribution of resources in a timely manner. Dr. Al-Fagih collaborated with her PhD student at CSE Khaled Abedrabboh; researchers from the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, Kingston University London, UK; her form

Research which has been funded by Air New Zealand has modelled the effect of selectively relaxing our border restrictions depending on each country’s Covid-19 risk levels, but experts have acknowledged its weaknesses.
The study is a model of how New Zealand could manage international arrivals by their country of origin and suggests we could offer quarantine-free travel or shorter stays in quarantine to arrivals from some less Covid-afflicted areas.
Professor Shaun Hendy, who leads Te Pūnaha Matatini’s Covid-19 modelling programme, said the framework outlined by the model was “impractical”.
Hendy said the methodology described in the paper was “sound, although the practicality of using reported fatalities in order to categorise traveller risk is questionable”.

Research contracted by the aviation sector models the
effect of selectively relaxing our border restrictions
depending on each country’s Covid-19 risk level.
It
is a model of how we could manage international arrivals by
their country of origin, and suggests we could offer
quarantine-free travel or shorter stays in quarantine to
arrivals from some less Covid-afflicted areas.
The
study is funded by Auckland Airport, Wellington Airport,
Christchurch Airport and Air New Zealand, and one of the
study’s authors is an Air New Zealand employee.
