A worst case scenario model for the Covid-19 outbreak says there could be 5,200 cases per week in the Auckland and Northern region - and that's if 90 percent of people aged 12 and over are vaccinated.

The modelling, put together for the Ministry of Health, is part of planning for how hospital and ICU systems would cope.

For more on this, Māni Dunlop was joined by RNZ reporter, Ben Strang.
