'Imminent' roll-out of routine testing to see how widespread Covid-19 really is
Routine testing for Covid-19 across the country will be rolled out to provide more clues about whether there is community transmission, Health Minister David Clark said.
It will become part of the normal routine for testing for the common flu, and comes amid uncertainty about whether Covid-19 is being transmitted in the community.
It will be part of the Flu Surveillance system.
Clinicians had needed sign-off from a Medical Officer of Health before ordering a test, but the Ministry of Health dropped that prerequisite at the weekend.
Clark said he didn't want that step to keep doctors from testing patients who should be tested.
