With currently the highest COVID reproduction rate in the world, it has never been more important that we prioritise looking after w'ānau and, indeed, our communities. We need to understand that phase 3 policies point to the failure of the Government to properly prepare for the Omicron outbreak, and heavily invest in healthcare and community services. Despite warnings, the Government has not invested in things like ICU, testing, and contact tracing capacity. We are supporting the call of Whānau Ora for an inquiry into the Ministry of Health's handling of the roll-out of rapid antigen testing and, indeed, the whole testing regime, which has been an absolute shambles.
