Hon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): New Zealand has taken strong precautionary actions that prioritise the safety of the New Zealand public. We make no apology for this. Last month, the Director-General of the World Health Organization asked countries to be as aggressive as possible in their containment efforts. Dr Tedros asked us not to squander the opportunity to prevent local transmission. We have responded to that call. By introducing travel restrictions early, we kept COVID-19 at bay for far longer than many other countries. That has given our health service more time to plan and to understand the virus. We are well prepared.
