Subject: Official Information request - Monkeypox surveillance and contact
tracing strategy

Dear Ministry of Health,

Please provide any documents that refer to:

1. Contact tracing strategy for MPX in Aotearoa NZ. This would include,
but is not limited to: contact tracing IT infrastructure planning; MPX
contact tracing approach (ie national vs district/local); equity,
cultural, and privacy strategy (given effective contact tracing for
monkeypox requires high trust).

2. Any planning and discussion regarding a long-term surveillance strategy
for MPX, if community transmission occurs.

Regards,

Chris Furlong
