Before the Government pumped another $3 billion into the Covid-19 response it was told it would be much cheaper to beef-up contact tracing than force another lockdown.
The review of the August Auckland outbreak also found the number of cases which could be traced fell well short of the promised 1000 per day and that statements made at the daily 1pm press conferences undermined the work on the ground.
Sir Brian Roche and Professor Philip Hill told Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins the system s capacity and financial stability need to be urgently addressed with a 24-36 month timeframe in mind.
