COVID-19 livestream: Dr Ashley Bloomfield explains how home isolation will change at phase 2 of Omicron response

The Director-General of Health is leading a briefing to provide more detail on home isolation in phase 2 of the Omicron response.

The briefing is scheduled for a 12pm start.

Phase 2 will be triggered whenever New Zealand records its first 1000+ cases day - likely to be in the next day or two given daily numbers have been well over 700 this week.

Dr Ashley Bloomfield will explain how the home isolation changes in phase 2 will be supported by technologies and other means through the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Dr Bloomfield will be joined by Ministry of Health primary care lead Dr Joe Bourne and MSD deputy chief executive Viv Rickard.
