I just received an email from Auckland Regional Public Health Servvice (ARPHS) saying a second student at MAGS has just been confirmed as having COVID-19 but was infectious more than two weeks ago. However, ARPHS "is asking all students and staff members (at MAGS) to get tested" to "help identify if there are any undiagnosed cases." Then later the letter states, "MAGS remains safe for all staff and students to return on Monday 31 August and lessons resume at 8.40 am."
The two statements seem like a serious contradiction. If the school is "safe", why have everyone associated with the school get tested? I believe high schools in this area of Auckland are not safe now, especially with a new Covid cluster discovered in Mt. Roskill. These high schools should stay physically closed for at least another one or two weeks (or at least stay closed to students 15 and older since these students can stay home on their own). Or at least MAGS (with a student enrollment of 3,000) should stay closed until every MAGS student is tested, since the ARPHS stated it wanted every student in MAGS tested.
I will write to the principal of MAGS, the Ministry of Health, and the political parties. If you are concerned about our community health, I hope you will also write.

The southern white rhino calf was delivered on August 14, and it marks the first rhino birth at the zoo in 20 years.
Auckland Zoo ungulates team leader Tommy Karlsson witnessed the “exciting and nerve-wracking” birth that has been heavily anticipated by staff.
“It was very smooth and very fast, and Jamila did a brilliant job by giving a couple of really good pushes to get her baby here,” he said.
“Her calf was walking within 25 minutes and suckling well by the afternoon. She’s pretty sturdy, her belly is filling out and she’s already getting a lot rounder.”
Karlsson estimates the baby rhino’s weight at 65 kilograms.
The rhino’s mother Jamila went through a 16 month pregnancy and one hour of labour, with her water breaking at 7am and the delivery of her calf occurring at 7.59am.
Regional Facilities Auckland chief executive Chris Brooks said it is a rare and exiting privilege welcoming a new baby rhino.
“Auckland Zoo supports the recovery of rhino populations in Zimbabwe and in Sumatra,” he said.
“Thanks to the Australasian zoos’ breeding programme, we have been able to bring one more southern white rhino into the world.”
Karlsson said it is still early days, and Jamila and her calf are not yet out on the Savannah.
“We take Jamila’s lead to do this at the pace she is comfortable with, and once she’s ready, we can’t wait for visitors to see Jamila’s calf for themselves,” he said.
“Rhino are such an incredible species that are still doing it tough in the wild, both in Africa and Asia. They are so important in helping maintain healthy ecosystems for themselves and many other species where they live, so we need to do all we can to help ensure their future.”
Since 2013, Auckland Zoo has supported the Zimbabwe-based Lowveld Rhino Trust’s (LRT) conservation efforts for both black and white rhino species.
