Claims it's past time New Zealand begins recording Covid-19 deaths accurately.
The Health Ministry has announced it will begin now only report the deaths of people who died because of Covid or as a contributor.
Until now, anyone who died within 28 days of having an infection has been recorded as a Covid death, similar to other countries.
Act Party leader David Seymour told Andrew Dickens it will help build trust.
He says the Government has an obligation to collect accurate information and share it in real time, shutting down the fear factory.
