Please refer to this article where France has set an important example in how to treat the front line Covid workers. These are mainly migrants in professions such as health professionals, security and cleaning staff, carers of essential worker's children, refuse collectors, checkout assistants and home helpers.
.
It states that "These frontline workers responded to the call of the nation, so it is normal that the nation takes a steps towards them," and continues "The country pulled through thanks to them."
This should be adopted by all countries. In my view it would be very beneficial to New Zealand. It would solve many issues such as;
- the backlog with Immigration New Zealand
- shortage of workers in the various sectiors
- ongoing economic activity
