Hello,
Now that I believe enough time has passed, I'd like to resubmit my previous application for information about the proposed CovidCard, including any reports, briefings, documents, or correspondence prepared in relation to:

1. Planning around continued trials and deployment of the proposed CovidCard.
2. Planning around media coverage about the proposed CovidCard, and the role of private sector individuals in promoting the card.

This request excludes documents already made available in Proactive Releases available at https://covid19.govt.nz/updates-and-reso....

A previous OIA request had identified five documents that were refused at the time:
1) 8 October: Joint Health/DIA report Update on CovidCard Trials
2) 25 September: Joint Health/DIA report Update on CovidCard Trials
3) 13 May 2020: DIA Draft Communications Plan, DIA Bluetooth card interim communications and engagement
4) A3 Draft PR and public awareness campaign for Bluetooth COVID-19 card
5) Draft talking points and draft press release, Communications plan for the next phase of work on the CovidCard

If there are any further documents that have been produced since the previous OIA request, I would like those to be included as well, noting that the CovidCard project was transferred to Ministry of Health at some point around this time.

Yours faithfully,
Andrew Chen
