Baptist COVID-19 Response Team
In September 2022 the Baptist COVID-19 Response Team was disestablished as the COVID-19 Protection Framework (Traffic Light System) was ended by the New Zealand Government. We thank the people who were part of our Response Team for their work and commitment to this important work during a difficult period of time.
If you are seeking information about COVID-19, we recommend you look at the government COVID-19 website: covid19.govt.nz
