Covid-19: Where to get tested for coronavirus in wake of new cases in Auckland

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Coronavirus testing in Auckland is being ramped up following confirmation of three new cases in the community, with people warned to be patient in case of delays.

The source of the infection is under investigation, but could be linked to the border as the mother works at LSG Sky Chefs laundry and catering company, which provides services for airlines.
