Covid-19: Pacific cancellations and stronger counter-measures

From , 5:03 am on 17 March 2020

The risk of Covid-19 spreading around the Pacific has caused the cancellation of New Zealand's premiere Pacific high-school competition, Polyfest.

Dominic Godfrey has been following responses in the region to the spread of the disease and I asked him what prompted the cancellation of Polyfest.
