Invercargill deceased – more information sought
We have today received a number of media inquiries that emergency services attended a home in Invercargill last night where the patient had died.
Our thoughts are with the patient’s family at this sad time and we ask that their privacy is respected.
Media will be aware that the Ministry of Health is the lead agency for the COVID-19 response. In his briefing this afternoon, the Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said he had requested more information on the patient’s cause of death before making comment.
