The pop-up testing site is at the Kihikihi Sports Domain via Gate 2 today and tomorrow from 10am to 2pm.
The confirmed case follows two positive Covid-19 detections in wastewater samples taken from Te Awamutu on Tuesday and Wednesday last week, which also include flows from Kihikihi and Waikeria Prison.
The Kihikihi case was one of four new cases in the Waikato today, one in Hamilton and two in Raglan, bringing the total number of Covid-19 community cases in the Waikato region to 42.
Two of these cases have recovered.
