From Morning Report, 7:46 am on 15 September 2020

Health authorities will today confirm if anyone who attended gym classes with a health worker who has tested positive for Covid-19.

The authorities have urged almost ninety close contacts who attended the classes at Takapuna's Les Mills to self isolate and get tested.

It's likely the worker contracted the virus at the Jet Park near Auckland Airport, but exactly how is still being investigated by health officials.

Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield told Morning Report results should come through on Tuesday. 

"We'll be able to give an update today on just how many of those people might have been infected if they were exposed during that session," he said.
