Wellington's Covid-19 test rates soar
Testing is ramping up to meet soaring demand across Wellington, which is now at Alert Level 2. It's been five days since thousands of people were potentially exposed to Covid-19 at several venues in the capital, including popular cafes, a bar, and Te Papa. Healthline is warning that callers are currently facing at least 20 minute delays, and it's put on extra staff to help. RNZ reporter Hamish Cardwell speaks to Max Towle from the Hataitai testing centre.
