An Auckland emergency nurse says she and her colleagues can feel a tsunami of Covid-19 cases coming and the hospitals are not prepared.
The nurse, who is a union delegate at one of the city's hospitals, also says many colleagues go home after work, wondering if they can steel themselves to go back in.
There were 43 people with Covid-19 in hospital yesterday - only one fewer than the highest recorded level back in September.
Middlemore Hospital is expecting to see 20 cases coming through the emergency department a day by next month.
Health correspondent Rowan Quinn reports.
