	Description:		The world has been battling Covid-19 for nearly three years. But increasingly, people are having to learn to live with the virus. Recently, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed that Cabinet will be looking at the traffic light system and if it's still fit for purpose. It comes after reports that requirements for mask mandates could be significantly narrowed. So as case numbers drop, is this the right move? And where does it leave the health system and the immunocompromised? Today, University of Otago epidemiologist Dr Michael Baker joins Damien to discuss what the future may hold for Covid in Aotearoa.
