DJ Dimension (Robert Etheridge) - events

James made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was refused by Ministry of Health.

From: James

Dear Ministry of Health,

I am requesting information regarding DJ Dimension (Robert Etheridge) and the
corresponding events resulting from his positive Omicron test.

Did DJ Dimension sign/scan in at each location he visited? Please provide details.
How many people listed as close contacts to
DJ Dimension were at either Soul bar, Ahi restaurant or Impala nightclub with DJ Dimension and were also “performers” as classified by Minister Hipkins and listed as close contacts and received a full “Health risk assessment”.

Were the promoter(s) of DJ Dimension if present included as a close contact “performer”?

It was publicly stated that MOH assessment teams did a full “Health Risk Assessment” on every close contact "performer". What did these full “Health Risk Assessments” consist of?
How many close contact “ performers” were there?
How many full “Health Risk Assessments” were done?
What day and time were these assessments carried out and completed?

When were all the “performers” notified by the MOH they were close contacts? Please provide exact details for each individual “performer”

When was DJ Dimension notified he had returned a positive test? Exact time and date please.

Did these full “Health Risk Assessments” include any "performers" located in the Tauranga area on any of the flowing dates 29th and 30th of December 2021, if so when were their assessments carried out? When were these “performers” in the Tauranga area notified they were close contacts?

In multiple media articles and as acknowledged by Mr Gayford himself, musicians were urgently seeking RAT kits from a pharmacy in Tauranga after they discovered they were close contacts of DJ Dimension and even sought Mr Gayford’s advice on the matter. Were these musicians listed as close contacts of DJ Dimension by the MOH and came into contact him between December 26th and 27th 2021? If so when were they notified by the MOH, what was the MOH advice given to them? And what MOH action taken?

When was DJ Friction (Ed Keeley) notified he was a close contact of DJ Dimension? This question was put to Minister Hipkins at the time but he couldn't recall off the top of his head.

Did DJ Dimension have a vaccine pass?

Yours faithfully,

James
