Covid-19: Woman's husband, hairdresser tested negative for virus - Hipkins
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says two close contacts of a woman who has Covid-19 have tested negative. The woman who recently left managed isolation tested positive for the disease on Saturday and the Ministry of Health revealed the news to the country on Sunday. Hipkins told Morning Report the woman's husband and her hairdresser have both tested negative for the disease. The woman was an assiduous user of the Covid Tracer app and around 30 locations of interest have been identified. Hipkins said the investigation and contact tracing has already begun and the woman's use of the Covid Tracer app has been helpful. "The woman concerned has shown us all how valuable scanning those QR codes, turning on Bluetooth and keeping a good record of our movements is and I'd ask everyone to follow that."
