Covid-19: Central city businesses suffer after commuters asked to stay away

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 13 November 2020

The government is expected to announce today whether there's any need to change alert levels in Auckland after the emergence of a new Covid-19 case.

It was revealed yesterday that a woman in her 20s who lives in the CBD has tested positive but it is not clear how she might have caught the virus.

Tens of thousands of Aucklanders who work in the central city are staying home as health authorities scramble to assess whether there's an outbreak.
