Kia ora Deborah

 

Thank you for your request for official information received on 23 July
2021 for:

 

"(CovSars-2) PCR test results are sent to ESR CDC. That data is then made
available to which organisations after that? Are they privately owned DNA
data bases?
The individual whose DNA is extracted is made aware of where it is sent,
how it is used and is this also fully consented to by the individual
tested in NZ?"

 

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H202109389.

 

As required under the Official Information Act 1982, the Ministry will
endeavour to respond to your request no later than 20 August 2021, being

If we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we
will notify you of an extension of that time frame.
