COVID-19 Infectious period and Day 0 calculations

James made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for James to read recent responses and update the status.

From: James

Dear Health New Zealand,

I am seeking the information and directives given to the National Contact Tracing Service and any other COVID-19 officials around infectious period calculations and processes. Specifically, I am looking for the directives that relate to when a person's day 0 and infectious period begins when they have tested positive more than 7 days after symptom onset. I am also looking for the health advice that supports such directives.

Yours faithfully,
James
