All initial tests from household members of COVID-19 cases in Hamilton East and Palmerston North have this afternoon returned negative results.
Results were received for two household members of the Auckland-based truck driver who is isolating in Palmerston North, and eight household members from the case in Hamilton East.
The results of three household members of the Raglan case, who have now all been moved to an Auckland quarantine facility, are expected back later tonight and will be announced tomorrow.
Testing in Waikato
Waikato DHB advises there has been a strong response to calls for people in Hamilton with symptoms to get tested. Our thanks to everyone who has stepped up to be tested.
The testing centres at Founders and Claudelands have reached capacity for today and the DHB is now asking that anyone who hasn't been tested today, gets tested tomorrow.
There will be a number of testing opportunities in Hamilton and the Waikato available tomorrow from 8am, including at some GP clinics, and these will be listed on the Healthpoint website.
