Thank you for your request for official information received on 8 March

“I request the total number of unique individuals who have been tested for
Covid-19 in New Zealand.
If possible, I would like to receive a breakdown of this number for the
Auckland region by DHB.”

 

We are contacting you to seek a clarification of your request, if you
could kindly answer the below questions to assist us in forming your
response it would be much appreciated:

 

Please clarify a time period for your request.

Do you want the response to include MIQ testing, border worker testing and
community testing?

Given that people can be tested multiple times what do you mean by ‘of
unique individuals’?

 

We look forward to receiving your response.

 

Ngâ mihi
