Just when you thought the news couldn't get any more cooked.

A national call to arms has been issued as New Zealand battles to find enough healthcare workers to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

The campaign, launched by the Ministry of Health and medical recruitment company MedWorld, labels the COVID-19 outbreak "the biggest crisis of our time" and warns the demand for trained doctors and nurses will be "unprecedented".

OPINION: At 11.59pm on Thursday March 19, the New Zealand Government shut the border for the first time.

That's right: Literally seal New Zealand off and stop even the possibility of more foreigners bringing the coronavirus into New Zealand. Of course, Labour in this part of the world is a big free trading party, and as recently as two weeks ago Government sources were telling Stuff that there was no way the trans-Tasman border would ever be closed: the economic hit and importance of free flow of people and goods would make the costs of closure much too high.

It’s been a high tempo summer for the NZDF, writes Defence Minister Hon Ron Mark. White Island/Whakaari recovery, Southland flooding evacuation and Australian bushfire assistance underline need for resource availability.

Last year the New Zealand Defence Force were involved in 58 operations. The summer period was a particularly busy time, as on top of our usual deployments we responded to consecutive humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
