Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: The decision to move to alert level 2 follows the Government's repeated programme of going hard and going early. We moved quickly as soon as we became aware that there was an increased risk of exposure, in order to be able to stamp out the virus again should it have spread into our community. Getting people to follow the rules of alert level 2 and, in particular, to stay home if they are unwell or stay home if they've been asked to stay home because they were in a location of interest—that is the way we will ensure that COVID-19 does not get a foothold here, and it will mean that we can minimise the chances of having to have more extensive restrictions.
