Coronavirus NZ podcast: the vital measures needed to save us from a return to lockdown



[ad_1]

NZ coronavirus is a new daily podcast, hosted by Stuff‘s Adam Dudding and Eugene Bingham, looking at the Covid-19 pandemic from a Kiwi perspective.

In today’s episode: Dr Ayesha Verrall was the scientist called in to the Ministry of Health to make a critical audit of the country’s contact-tracing system – and she found it wanting.

She joins the show to talk about why contact tracing is still so important, and how ready the country is for this week’s move to level 2.

Steve Kilgallon reveals the surprise twist that has kicked the events industry while it’s down.

And Adam has fun with a political Plague Playlist offering.

Epidemiologist Dr Ayesha Verrall says contact tracing, with other public health measures, can be as effective as a vaccine.
