Wellington wastewater
Further wastewater samples have been collected from the Wellington region after two samples returned a weak positive result for COVID-19.
Results from the new samples are expected to be available on Tuesday evening.
It is likely the two weak positive results are due to recently recovered cases continuing to shed the virus.
The Ministry is encouraging anyone with symptoms, especially if they are in the Wellington region, to get tested promptly.
