Covid is spiking again - will it ruin our summer holidays?
About this episode
Covid-19 has continued to be a dark shadow hanging heavy over everything that has happened in 2022 - and it seems that this disease is not yet done with us.
Cases are tracking up and dozens of New Zealanders are continuing to die weekly.
So how worrying is the rise in cases amid waning immunity and more relaxed behaviour over the summer holidays? And what long-term strategy does the Government have in place to deal with the ongoing threat of Covid-19?
Today, NZ Herald science writer Jamie Morton joins Damien to share his insight on the virus that just won’t go away.
