Covid-19: Not enough clarity about bespoke lockdown after it was announced - Hauraki Mayor

From Morning Report, 8:17 am on 21 September 2021

Hauraki district mayor Toby Adams told Morning Report it's frustrating to not have the information that locals need.

A special lockdown has been put in place in the area after a remand prisoner who travelled there was found to have Covid-19.

Adams told Morning Report there was not clarity around what the lockdown meant and where its boundaries were after it was announced on Monday.

He said he would have appreciated a heads-up about the move. 

He's hoping that everyone will do the right thing and that the outbreak can be limited to three cases. 

Some 200 Covid-19 tests taken in the Hauraki district have come back negative overnight.
