Mick Roberts from Massey University is a Professor in Mathematical Biology who has published over a hundred papers on modelling epidemics. He talks to Kathryn Ryan about why every single contact we reduce during the lock down is crucial, and on current projections when Covid-19 is likely to peak here.
