Sam Morgan wants CovidCard process sped up

Covid Card advocate Sam Morgan says he's pleased at the government's plan to test the bluetooth-based contact tracing technology in Rotorua, but is concerned the process is taking too long. The entrepreneur and Trade Me founder who's been working on the card since March, has been pushing for the device as a better alternative to the Covid-19 tracing app. 300 people are to test the devices in a government-run trial in Rotorua with a decision on whether to continue with the smart card to be made later in the year. Meanwhile scientists are continuing to voice concerns that kiwis have become complacent about the spread of covid-19 without community transmission. Lynn Freeman discusses with Sam Morgan and Otago University epidemiologist Professor Nick Wilson.
