Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister for COVID-19 Response): It was a year ago today that New Zealand moved to COVID-19 alert level 4, where we would stay for five weeks in an attempt to eliminate the virus from our shores. A year on, we continue to deal with the effects of the pandemic, but our means of responding to the virus continue to be refined and improved over time. That's included a constant review of our testing strategy to make sure it's fit for purpose and to identify any risk and any cases swiftly and appropriately. We've got thorough and ongoing expansion of our contact tracing system to ensure that we've got the flexibility and the capacity to track cases and their associated contacts in a timely manner, and we've got regular improvement of our infection prevention and control measures to restrict unwanted transmission.
