From Morning Report, 6:46 am on 8 May 2020

Māori academic Rawiri Taonui says it's a relief to see a surge in the rate of Māori being tested for Covid-19.

Ministry of Health figures show in April, the rate of Māori testing jumped from 16 per 1000 to 24.

Rawiri Taonui told RNZ Māori news correspondent Leigh-Marama Mclachlan that's good news.
