Covid is on the rise in New Zealand once again. Reports around the country point to an uptick of cases, sparking concern that we could be facing yet another wave of infections. 
 
It arrives at a time when we have no Government-mandated rules left to protect us and many New Zealanders have moved on with their lives.

Today, Otago University epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker, joins Damien to discuss why the pandemic is not yet done with us.
