Northland's chance to move out of red today

From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 20 January 2022

The Government will announce today whether Northland will remain in red under the Covid-19 traffic light system.

Cabinet ministers met yesterday to decide whether to tweak the settings.

Currently, all regions are at orange except Te Tai Tokerau.

Northland is also the only region that doesn't have at least 90 per cent of people over 12, vaccinated.

But it is now at 89 per cent for first doses, just 1400 off the milestone.
