Video / NZ HeraldBy Katie Todd, RNZAn Aucklander with Covid-19 who has confined herself to a caravan in her backyard feels scared for her health and abandoned by authorities. About 2000 people with the virus are living at home and those supporting them say the public health system is struggling to keep up. According to the Ministry of Health (MOH), each Covid-19 patient isolating at home should get a leaflet with advice and a pack with everything they need to monitor their health. A Medical Officer of Health undertakes a public health risk assessment, looking at how safe the person is at home and what they might need. He said the Ministry of Health was working to get more resources to help support and contact people isolating at home.
