From Midday Report, 12:11 pm on 28 January 2021

Droves of Aucklanders have been queueing at pop up covid testing centres in northern Auckland, as casual contacts of the latest community cases turn out to be swabbed.

Health officials confirmed last night two more people tested positive for the virus, after spending 14 days in isolation at the Pullman Hotel.

They have the same South African variant as the Northland woman who tested positive for Covid on Sunday.

RNZ reporter, Kate Gregan, spoke to Māni Dunlop from the Orewa testing centre.
