From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 9 September 2020

Microbiologist Siouxsie Wiles says its not surprising people sceptical of Covid-19 have become caught up in a cluster in NZ.

The Health Minister Chris Hipkins has asked for police help to ensure the cluster centred on the Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship Church group cooperates over Covid-19.

This after a student at St Dominic's Catholic College in West Auckland became the latest person to test positive for Covid-19.

The student, who is linked to the Mt Roskill sub cluster, was last at school on Friday but left early after starting to feel unwell.

Chris Hipkins says some of the members of the group haven't understood the science of Covid-19 Auckland.

Wiles speaks to Susie Ferguson.
