Kia ora Harold, 

 

On 26 August 2021, the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) sent you a
response regarding your request for information, ref: H202108520. In this
response, we advised you that the “Manatû Hauora COVID-19 Resurgence Plan”
would soon be proactively released on the Ministry’s website. Whilst the
Ministry had every intention of following through with the proactive
release, while there is an ongoing response to outbreak this is no longer
able to go ahead. Therefore, we would like to amend our response to your
request, and provide you with the “Manatû Hauora COVID-19 Resurgence Plan”
attached to this email. 

 

Please note, the Ministry’s COVID-19 Resurgence Plan is constantly
changing in order to keep up to date with the latest science and public
health advice. What is stated in this version of the resurgence plan may
not be the most current response advice. 

 

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
