Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Health): Thank you, Mr Speaker. It's now 14 days since COVID-19 re-emerged in the community and the Government moved Auckland to alert level 3 and the rest of New Zealand to alert level 2. The events of the last two weeks have once again confirmed the value of going hard and going early. The latest outbreak has resulted in the largest single cluster of cases that we have seen in New Zealand in our response to COVID-19 to date, but it could have been so much worse. So far, 108 cases, as at 10.30 this morning, have been linked to the cluster—with cases across multiple workplaces, churches, and public transport. Thanks to the efforts of everyone who's observed the alert level rules, as well as the record levels of testing and outstanding work by public health contact tracers, we can be increasingly confident that we are containing this cluster. This is not a matter of luck; it's a result of a lot of planning and a lot of hard work.
