Jacinda Ardern urges clinicians to do more COVID-19 testing: 'We have the capacity'

Here's an idea, how about we get some more test kits like other countries have done so that we can catch community spread BEFORE it gets out of hand. How about since we're a little island nation not bordering any other countries, we make use of the added time we get and actually stop this thing in its tracks. How about we not be like the US, who insisted there was no community spread until it was too late. Now people are dying as a speak. Test everyone with symptoms, prioritising those who have been in contact with tourists. Don't deny tests. No test is wasted at a time like this. Save the lives of immuno compromised and elderly people by stopping this from spreading through our population before it even starts. Even one death is one too many.
