An Auckland doctor warns Covid-19 will be like a ship's anchor, dragging along and hard to dislodge from the nation's hospitals.
The Ministry of Health yesterday said Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations were at the lowest levels since February, with evidence of a real and sustained decline in numbers in the community.
Counties Manukau population health director Dr Gary Jackson says dropping Covid-19 numbers are promising, but the virus will remain in hospitals for some time yet.
He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
