From Checkpoint, 6:15 pm on 14 August 2020

The Health Minister has given assurances that most front-line border staff will have been tested for Covid-19 by the end of today.

There's been confusion over testing of staff who work at the borders and in isolation hotels, following revelations that more than two-thirds of them have never been tested for the virus.

Meanwhile, health officials have yet to pinpoint the source of the community outbreak in Auckland.
