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
, especially if they are in the Wellington region, to get tested promptly.
This advice also applies to recent visitors to the Wellington region. Anyone who develops symptoms consistent with
COVID-19 should call Healthline (
) or their doctor, or visit a testing station to get a test.Testing information
