Barnett urges 'more clinical' response to Covid-19 community cases, Hipkins says each case unique
Auckland will join the rest of the country in Covid-19 alert level 1 from midnight, but is there a better option than a large scale lockdown if or when there's another outbreak? For Tāmaki Makaurau businesses, the last week was a messy one. First the three days in level 3, and then this last weekend's level 2 restrictions with rules around seated guests in restaurants, and no large gatherings. Michael Barnett is the Auckland Chamber of Commerce chief executive. He told Lisa Owen when the next outbreak happens, it needs to be dealt with differently.
