Fast forward to a year later, 23 February 2022, we now have the call that RATs are no longer just a screening tool but, in fact, he has determined, against all good science, that they would now be deployed as a diagnostic tool across the whole of Aotearoa. We then learnt that a shipment of RATs had just arrived in Aotearoa, which would double the country's capacity. Why were the RATs not ordered earlier? Why are they not readily available in communities like mine? All I have to say is, thank goodness for iwi, for Māori providers, who, at their own cost, took up saliva testing in areas that DHBs are not readily popping up and testing in.
