Contact tracing may crumble at 20% of promised capacity

This is very concerning as it is quite possible daily cases will be at that level in a fortnight or so. The slower contacting tracing is, the more community transmission there is, the more cases you have etc etc and it becomes a vicious circle.

There is no excuse for the lack of capacity. The Associate Minister of Health herself did the review (before she was an MP) stating we needed this capacity. Ministers should have been demanding reassurance on a regular basis that the capacity was there.
