TESTING
The ministry said its laboratories yesterday completed 626 tests, bringing the total number of tests completed to date to 281,609.
"Lower testing volumes are regularly observed over holiday weekends, and we recognise that this Alert Level 2 Queens Birthday, people will have been taking the advantage of the renewed ability to travel and enjoy a break within New Zealand.
"However, we want to encourage and remind everyone that if they have any respiratory symptoms, they should seek advice from Healthline, their GP or after-hours clinic about getting tested. Testing is free."
The Ministry has requested that District Health Boards continue to ensure equitable access to testing for those who have symptoms consistent with Covid-19.
"Each DHB will be making its own decisions on how best to provide testing over the coming weeks and this may involve a mix of CBACs (community based assessment centres), mobile services, primary care and other community-based testing.
"Each DHB will determine when and if it is appropriate for them to close their CBACs, while ensuring that testing is available."
