Another three lives have been lost in the country's deadliest Covid-19 cluster: A group of Christchurch dementia patients shifted from Rosewood Rest Home & Hospital to Burwood Hospital last week.

The cluster's total death toll on Tuesday stands at six - of a total of nine for the whole country - and there are grave fears for the remaining dementia patients being cared for at Burwood Hospital.

But family members of a Rosewood resident say they're completely in the dark if their loved one was moved to Burwood, or not.
