Listen "Inside the error that sent Northland into a Covid lockdown"
Episode Synopsis
Last year, two Covid-positive women sent Northland into an 11-day lockdown after entering the region when they weren’t supposed to. Reports at time suggested that they were sex workers and gang affiliated. Now, the release of a 700-page file into the case has revealed that wasn't true, and has detailed the bureaucratic blunder behind the case. One of the women is now calling for an apology from the Government for the claims she says were fabricated about her. Will that happen, and what does this case say about our Covid-19 response? Today, senior NZ Herald writer David Fisher joins Damien for a discussion about his lengthy reporting into the Northland lockdown.
