Covid-19: Weak positive cases 'viral fragments' - Ashley Bloomfield

From Morning Report, 7:25 am on 23 September 2020

The Health Ministry says testing has revealed historical cases of Covid-19 among some people in this country.

It says all cases have involved a "weak positive" test result, suggesting an old infection in people who are no longer infectious and pose no risk to others.

The Ministry is setting up a new process to standardise the way these cases are managed and reported.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomnfield speaks to Corin Dann.
