Ten hospitals across New Zealand are now linked in to the ICNET infection surveillance database hosted by Canterbury District Health Board (DHB), with new COVID-19 functionality launched last year helping providers to detect, manage and trace COVID-19 cases across the national hospital network, including the hotel quarantine network.
