Hospital's approach to testing 'inadequate' - health workers

From Midday Report, 12:14 pm on 6 September 2021

Health workers say hospitals have taken an inadequate approach to testing incoming patients for Covid-19. A patient at Middlemore hospital tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday -- 22 hours, two wards and one CT scanning area after they arrived in the hospital on Saturday evening.
