Air quality concerns in Auckland CBD remain

From Morning Report, 8:20 am on 24 October 2019

Auckland public health authorities are continuing to encourage central city residents and workers to stay out of the city, or remain indoors, if at all possible. A steady stream of acrid smoke from the International Convention Centre caused air pollution to spike yesterday. For those with children attending early learning services in the central city, the advice remains to keep them at home. Corin Dann spoke to Auckland medical officer of health Denise Barnfather who says they still don't know exactly what is in the smoke.
