The man accused of stealing Te Whatu Ora Covid-19 data and using it to spread disinformation will stay behind bars after he was denied bail.
Barry Young, 56, appeared in the Wellington District Court, charged with accessing a computer system for dishonest purposes.
Te Whatu Ora says an employee - who has no clinical background - downloaded data, which was published on an overseas website and did an interview alleging a cover-up of vaccine-related deaths.
Mr Young's case was pushed back to Monday afternoon.
He would be released automatically at 1pm on Tuesday afternoon.
