From Morning Report, 6:09 am on 5 March 2020

Auckland secondary schools are reviewing their pandemic preparedness after two teens were put in isolation after a woman they knew tested positive for the covid-19 outbreak.

The students, who went to Westlake Boys' and Westlake Girls' high schools, have no symptoms and are considered unlikely to have spread the coronavirus.

Richard Dykes from the Auckland Secondary Principals Association told RNZ education correspondent, John Gerritsen, schools are doing what health officials tell them.
