Taranaki health officials believe an infected Covid-19 case could have been in their community for more than a week after two more positive results from wastewater tests in the town of Stratford.

Taranaki DHB medical officer of health Dr Jonathan Jarman says it is likely the readings have come via an infectious visitor or visitors to the region from an area where there is Covid-19.

Dr Jarman spoke to Corin Dann.
