    Provisions are being made for the possibility of coronavirus arriving here during flu season

    Provisions are being made for the possibility of coronavirus arriving here during flu season


    Medical experts say it's a matter of time before COVID-19 is in New Zealand.

    Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says the key thing people can do is get vaccinated against the flu.

    He says in the last three years there has been a decrease in the impact the winter flu season has had on people, because of the number of people getting vaccinated.
