With New Zealand expecting to see Omicron cases rise during the winter, the Orange setting remains appropriate for managing this stage of the outbreak, COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said today.
- “While daily cases numbers have flattened nationally, they are again beginning to increase in the Northern region and hospitalisation rates have also increased slightly over the past month. In addition, our latest COVID-19 modelling indicates that under current conditions, there is a likelihood of a secondary wave of cases appearing,” Chris Hipkins said.
- “The COVID-19 Protection Framework has effectively managed the Omicron outbreak at Orange. By following public health advice to remain at that setting, we can maintain some protections while ensuring businesses can continue to operate.
“I urge everyone to continue to be cautious and think about the health of others, especially those who are immunocompromised or at higher risk of long-term health impacts from infection. Please also get boosted, if you haven’t already.
“Self-isolation, vaccination and mask wearing continue to be our main defences against COVID-19. People will continue to be required to wear a face mask in many indoor settings.
“It is encouraging to see case numbers remain steady, but there are other factors at play that tell us to remain cautious and not yet move to Green. These include the arrival of new strains of colds and flus, which will add to the workloads of our already busy hospitals.
“The next review of the traffic light settings will be in late June,” Chris Hipkins said.
Find someone that holds onto you the way these people hold onto the coof.
Anyone who still believes this government will give up the powers they have taken and give back the freedoms they have removed over the last 2 years are more deluded than the government themselves.
If NZ houses are of good quality, well insulated and electicity prices are not high, people will be healthy and possess good natural immunity. Thanks to Grand Robber for the excessive inflation, many wont be able to buy nutrive food such as fresh vegetables whose prices go up in the winter time. Whether it is flu or covid, poorer and crowded homes are affected first. Flu jab or Covid jab is not the right answer. Successive governments are failing us in terms of basic necessities, and instead follow a globalist, and big pharma agenda. MSM is used to spread lies so that they can remain in power. Sad reality.

Too little and too late. Liar and hypocrite. Dont think you salvaged yourself. Your fear of MSM support is the reason and not any real concern on tens of thousands of kiwis abused under the gambling allocation system resulting in unneccessary emotional and financial harm.
Chris Hipkins says if the Government could redo the Covid-19 response, he would have scaled back the Auckland Delta lockdowns more quickly in the last three months of 2021.
