The COVID-19 Public Health Response (COVID-19 Testing) Order 2020 and the subsequent amendment order relate to the testing for COVID-19 of workers in the ports of Auckland and Tauranga. It sets out the categories of port workers who are required to undergo a test. This is an important component of our work to prevent the entry and spread of COVID-19 into New Zealand. The amendment order that came into force last night pushed back the deadline for testing to take place by three days, until 20 August, and specifies more precisely the affected workers that are required to be tested.
