The minister of Pacific peoples is urging Pasifika communities to stay vigilant and review their cultural practices and norms to better protect themselves from Covid-19 .
On Sunday the government confirmed a Northland woman had tested positive for Covid-19, the first community case in months.
A day earlier, amid thousands who attended the Wellington Pasifika Festival, Moera Tuilaepa-Taylor caught up with Aupito William Sio, who urged the community not to let their guard down.
