With 14 Covid cases in Northland – three of whom have recovered - the district health board is continuing to encourage locals to seek out vaccinations and testing sites across the region.

The Northland DHB especially urged people in the Taipā, Kaingaroa, Awanui and Kaitaia areas to get tested if they have had symptoms in the last couple of weeks – particularly around Labour weekend.
They also provided clarification in a written statement yesterday to say the two unlinked cases that prompted a snap lockdown in the Far North did not live in Taipā as stated by Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins.
