From 11.59pm Sunday 14 February, Auckland will move to alert level 3 and the rest of New Zealand will move to level 2 for three days until midnight Wednesday 17 February.

The move was announced by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern after three members of a family living in the South Auckland suburb of Papatoetoe tested positive for Covid-19.

This morning we talk with Dr Debbie Ryan who is the Principal of Pacific Perspectives - a specialist policy and research agency that has helped co-ordinate and support the Ministry of Health to set up a specialist Pacific Covid-19 Response Team.
