Minister visits Middlemore hospital
Today we hosted the Hon. Chris Hipkins, Minister of Health and Education, and Auckland Regional Public Health Service's executive director Dr William Rainger who were at Middlemore Hospital to deliver the 1pm live COVID-19 briefing, usually given in Wellington. It was Minister Hipkins first visit to Auckland since the re-emergence of COVID-19. During the announcement he acknowledged the hard work of the contact tracing team who have been at the forefront of helping to contain community transmission, and also the primary care workforce who are putting in long hours at testing stations in the region. Since August 11 they have identified 3,162 close contacts, and contacted 2,984 folk who are now in self isolation playing a vital part in containing the virus. Dr Rainger also gave the COVID-19 case update and talked about the work of the contract tracing team.
