THREAD: The situation explained at the 9pm conference is dynamic and very difficult, with Auckland being plunged into a high level of uncertainty again. #covid19nz
Our sense of psychological safety is being challenged from multiple directions - not only by the potential spread of the virus that is being actively tested and traced, but also through people breaching advice to self-isolate.

The reasons for these breaches seem to be complex and we certainly need to understand this to ensure it doesn’t happen again. #covid19nz
We also need to be cautious not to set-up a vindictive, toxic environment where people start to become reluctant o come towards for testing for fear of exposure to social media backlash or worse.

Nevertheless, the collective trust and efficacy of the whole community following Government advice is under pressure. There may now need to be consideration about stronger enforcement action. #covid19nz
But this needs to be carefully calibrated to ensure that people so not stop presenting with symptoms or potential situations of virus exposure or transmission.

The 7 days (at least) of Level 3 in Auckland will give some space to consider what happens next, balancing all these interests. No one wants to be in this situation. #covid19nz
But it’s important that we consider all angles carefully in this coming period, weighing community public health with particular individual freedoms in a global pandemic. #covid19nz
