⏺️ Wastewater detections
There has been a positive wastewater detection in Te Awamutu. Waikato DHB are investigating whether this represents a new current case or an old case who may be shedding the virus. In the meantime, anyone in Te Awamutu who has COVID-19 symptoms or has visited a location of interest should get tested immediately.
COVID-19 was also detected in a sample from Raglan on Tuesday, following earlier detections from samples taken last week. Anyone in Raglan with symptoms or who has been at a location of interest at the relevant time is also being asked to get tested.

However, anyone who develops symptoms whether or not they have been at a listed location of interest should ring Healthline for advice on testing.
If you were in Whangarei, Paihia, Onerahi or Kawakawa between Saturday, 2 October and Wednesday 6 October, you may have been at a location of interest.
