Concerns about complacency a year on from lockdown

It's a year this week since the country went into level four lockdown, as the virus surfaced and was already spreading, in communities all over the country.

The work they did had a lasting impact but they worry that because many New Zealanders haven't seen the worst of the virus, they forget how serious it is.
