Updated: One confirmed, up to six possible cases of Covid-19 in Tokoroa
Hi neighbours,
Tokoroa has one confirmed and up to six probable cases of Covid-19.
South Waikato Mayor Jenny Shattock confirmed to Stuff that her council was advised at around 5.30pm on Thursday following a staff member potentially being linked with a known Auckland case.
“We were notified last night by the regional Civil Defence controller who had a phone call from the Ministry of Health,” she said.
However, a screenshot of an email from Shattock to South Waikato District councillors paints a grim picture for the small Waikato town. “Unfortunately we have a confirmed case of Covid in Tokoroa and a probable case plus five others have been tested as some of them are unwell,” the email said.
“At this stage, we have (name withdrawn) in isolation and the nurse who swabbed the patient plus a council staff member.”
A council source confirmed that the email was legitimate. Click here to read more.
