The Government is providing additional support for people isolating with Covid-19.

Minister for Social Development and Employment Carmel Sepuloni announced today an extra 197 'Community Connectors' and an $85 million funding boost for food banks.

One of the organisations involved in the mahi is Te Puea Memorial Marae in South Auckland. 

The chair Hurimoana Dennis told Māni Dunlop about what this support meant.
