Our first response is a public health one. It is our fundamental duty. It is also the first and best economic response. The hard work and dedication of our health workforce and the personal responsibility that New Zealanders are showing with regard to protecting themselves and others is a great line of first defence. We must continue that work to smooth the curve of the inevitable increase in infections. Today's package includes a commitment of an additional $500 million to support our "Go hard, Go early, Contain COVID-19" strategy. There will be further support to come.
