Public health advice on COVID-19 remains the same despite scrapping traffic light system, health chief says

  • 17/09/2022

COVID-19 cases and deaths are on the retreat and the traffic light system has been scrapped. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said this week scrapping the restrictions brought certainty and control.

Andrew Old is the head of the new Public Health Agency and is now tasked with New Zealand's COVID-19 response.

Newshub Nation host Simon Shepherd asked Dr Old whether Ardern was right to say there is a certainty when it comes to COVID-19.
