A modeller says there's a chance Aotearoa will experience twin peaks in its Omicron outbreak because of the early explosion of numbers in Auckland.

University of Canterbury mathematics professor Michael Plank says hospitalisations have become the key figure to monitor.

He told Corin Dann the latest models show the number of hospitalised patients should peak at about one-thousand.
