A business think tank is critical of the first part of New Zealand's Covid-19 review, believing it's not comprehensive enough. 

Phase 1 of the pandemic response report from the Royal Commission of Inquiry brings 39 recommendations. 

They include planning for quarantine measures, allowing movement of public sector capability during a pandemic, and assigning a minister to lead implementation.  

New Zealand Initiative Senior Fellow, Murray Horn told Mike Hosking the report misses some areas. 

He says it doesn't explore whether damage to the economy and people's faith in government was more serious than needed.
