Make a submission to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned
The COVID-19 Inquiry has been asked to review key decisions made by the Government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we have been asked to assess key decisions regarding the use of vaccines, including mandates, approvals, and safety; lockdowns, especially the lockdowns of late 2021, and testing and tracing technologies and public health materials.
We will use our review of these key decisions to provide advice to the Government on how Aotearoa New Zealand could make decisions during future pandemics.
