Wastewater testing for Covid-19 has come back clear for areas of the Bay of Plenty including from testing sites in Rotorua, Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.
Wastewater testing from sampling on Monday returned positive results from several Auckland sites, all with known cases in their catchments, Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said in the 1pm briefing.
There will be further results available late today for some other samples taken around the Auckland region.
The wait for results in Coromandal, however, continues.
