The government has made it clear without more vaccinations lockdowns are here to stay.

Over the weekend Covid-19 cases popped up in Waikato as Delta jumped the Auckland boundary.

Mainfreight managing director Don Braid says the Covid-19 positive driver who travelled to Palmerston North is not a Mainfreight driver.

He said the company is doing all it can to get full vaccination of its workforce, and he would support the government mandating vaccination.

At least 82 percent of Mainfreight's drivers are vaccinated, he said.
