Dear Wendy Chung,
Thank you for the link to the current cases and deaths on te Whatu Ora’s web page for the Covid-19 disease.

This request was to the CEO Mr Bloomfield. The page you supplied says as of today there are 4603 deaths from Covid and a total case number of 2717063.

Please confirm: Is Ashley Bloomfield responding to this request that the fatality rate is 4603 divided by 2717063 ? Ie the fatality rate for Covid 19 is 0.1694 %?

Yours sincerely,

Erika Whittome
