From Morning Report, 7:17 am on 23 April 2020

An Invercargill woman fighting for her life in Dunedin hospital and five of her family members still don't know how they got Covid-19.

The family is believed to be among the rare cases of community transmission.

The 62-year-old woman is in intensive care on a ventillator after the virus completely took over her lungs but her daughter worries the seriousness of her condition is being downplayed publicly.

RNZ health correspondent Rowan Quinn has been speaking with her daughter and speaks to Susie Ferguson.
