The director general of health has today apologised for long queues that has dogged Covid-testing stations in Northland over the past two days.
Dr Ashley Bloomfield told the AM Show while thousands heeded the call to get tested many ended up waiting hours. I want to thank those who went and got tested. Many of them had to wait quite a long time for that test. Thanks for their patience. I apologise for that and we ll be looking at ways we can reduce those queues in the future.
