Coronavirus: More Māori tested, but some DHBs lagging

From Morning Report, 8:46 am on 8 May 2020

There's been a surge in the rate of Māori being tested for Covid-19, but several districts are still lagging behind.

New Ministry of Health data shows Māori are being tested at a slightly higher rate than non-Māori on average.

But one third of District Health Boards still appear to be undertesting Māori.

Māori news correspondent Leigh-Marama Mclachlan reports.
