Earlier this month, Health NZ said it no longer recommended that asymptomatic household contacts of people with Covid-19 should test daily.
A new Covid-19 vaccine, which could fight newer strains of the virus, would be available from 7 March.
The updated vaccine is available free to:
- Everyone aged 30 years and over
- People aged 16-29 who are pregnant
- People aged 12-29 at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19
Health NZ also confirmed earlier this year free RATs would be available until at least the end of June.
