WELLINGTON, July 14 — The New Zealand government on Thursday announced free masks and rapid antigen tests as it tries to stem the spread of Covid-19 and relieve pressure on the country's health system which is dealing with an influx of Covid and influenza patients.
The hospital system is already struggling with increases in wait times and surgeries having to be cancelled. New Zealand, which has a population of 5.1 million, recorded 11,382 new cases of Covid on Thursday, with a total of 68,737 currently infected with the virus. Of those 765 cases are currently in hospital.
Verrall said while Covid-zero was no longer a possibility people did need to wear masks, to get tested and to isolate if either they or someone in their home tests positive to the virus.
