Numbers steady on first day of Covid-19 testing blitz

From Checkpoint, 5:17 pm on 26 August 2020

Today was the first day of a supposed Covid-19 testing 'blitz' - with steady demand at testing centres but no major increase in numbers.

The government is encouraging people without symptoms in south and west Auckland to be tested this week to ensure the Auckland cluster - now with 108 cases - is contained.
