Covid-19: Māori health providers set up phone lines

From Morning Report, 8:40 am on 17 March 2020

Māori health providers are setting up health phone lines and isolation rooms in case Covid-19 spreads to their communities. 

They say Māori are especially vulnerable to the virus because of higher rates of chronic illnesses, poorer quality housing and less access to primary healthcare services.
