CHRISTCHURCH, Mar 23, 2019, RNZ. Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates said four of those remained in a critical condition in intensive care. For the people who had been recently discharged, Canterbury DHB was still providing support, he said, reported the Radio New Zealand.
Meanwhile, the 4-year-old girl injured in the shootings remains in a critical condition in Starship Hospital in Auckland.
Her father, who was also injured, was stable at the nearby Auckland City Hospital.
Mr Meates said Christchurch Hospital was busy this weekend, especially the Emergency Department.
He reminded people to call GPs before going to the hospital, so staff could provide the best possible care for acutely unwell patients.
But he said it was important for people to take care of themselves following the traumatic events of last Friday and check to in with friends.
