Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: At phase 2, the Close Contact Exemption Scheme will begin. Overseas we've seen that large-scale spread of Omicron disrupts supply chains and the ability of critical services to keep functioning at 100 percent. Businesses have already been getting themselves ready by assessing themselves against the criteria needed to join the scheme. We've had a total of 5,620 register for it so far. Once a business is signed up to the scheme, an employee who is a close contact without symptoms will be able to go to a provider, such as their local community vaccination clinic, to secure a pack of 10 rapid antigen tests. In some cases, rapid antigen tests are being supplied directly to some of the larger scale critical workforces. We've secured enough rapid antigen tests to deal with our immediate needs, with 7.2 million currently in the country and more arriving every week.
