Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Health): One week ago tonight, the Prime Minister announced that a new case of COVID-19 had been detected in the community. It had been 102 days since the last evidence of community transmission, and the virus had returned. While we worked incredibly hard to prevent this, we always knew that it was possible, and we planned and prepared for that. Just as we did when COVID-19 first emerged, we went hard and we went early.
