Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard has slammed people gathering at parties in a deliberate attempt to catch COVID-19 and build immunity to the virus.
“They are utterly ridiculous,” he said.
“The best way to get immunity to this virus is through vaccination, not COVID parties. They are ridiculous.”
He added most people should be living their lives as normal, while following health directions.
“Most of us should be living as normal. I don’t think we should allow our lives to be disrupted at this stage too much by this virus.”
He urged those who are unvaccinated to avoid going out until they have had the jab, and suggested immunocompromised people avoid large crowds.
