Covid-19: Andrew Little on why there's no target to change traffic light settings

From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 30 November 2021

Health Minister Andrew Little says officials will make a 'human judgement' rather than set specific criteria for regions to shift down in the traffic light system.  

However he says any shifts between green, orange and red will be based on vaccination levels, health system preparedness and case numbers in that region. 

Little told Morning Report people are going to be moving around the country at a rate they haven't been moving before, and officials want to see how the health system responds.
