    The deaths of two separate Covid-19 patients in Auckland home-isolation highlights the need for better mental health support

    The deaths of two separate Covid-19 patients in Auckland home-isolation highlights the need for better mental health support


    An independent review panel has released its findings on the people - both living alone at the time.

    The review concludes missed opportunities contributed to the deaths.

    Northern Region Health Coordination Centre Lead Fepulea'i Margie Apa says a key area for improvement is assessing individual welfare needs and wellbeing.

    She says it's clear more could have been done.
