Tony Blakely: Commission chair says Inquiry into the Covid response is entering its next phase

The Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Covid response is entering its next phase. Work has been underway since February to collate lessons learned from the pandemic to improve future preparedness. Commissioners have so far been identifying, sourcing and reviewing publicly available information. Chair, epidemiologist Tony Blakely says they're now talking with those involved in influencing and delivering the policies. He says they're busy speaking to key policy institutions in Wellington and will soon get out around the country, starting with Auckland. The report is due next June.
