people who are eligible and partially vaccinated, eligible and fully
vaccinated, eligible and not vaccinated, not eligible. If the person
tested positive what strand of the virus it was e.g delta.

 

Please provide this information for each month since 1 September 2021.”

 

The Ministry of Health has decided to extend the period of time available
