Hawke’s Bay District Health Board’s medical officer of health, Dr Caroline McElnay, today lifted the warning issued on 7 March which advised the public not to swim, gather food or collect shellfish in the Kaiapo Drain, Southland Drain, Irongate Stream, Karamu Stream or Clive River.

Dr McElnay said it is now considered safe to resume activities in or around these waterways.
