Covid-19: South Auckland doctors still on high-alert

From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 18 February 2021

Doctors leading the Covid-19 testing effort in South Auckland are still on high alert, despite the Government's move to take the city out of Alert Level 3.

South Seas Healthcare has been testing swabbing thousands of people through the Otara Testing Centre, most of them from Papatoetoe where the current six person outbreak is centred.

They won't be letting their guard down - and they're not the only ones surprised to see the city go back to Alert Level 2 today.

Health correspondent Rowan Quinn has this report.
