Hundreds of Aucklanders home after Covid-19 case's Kmart shift

Hundreds of Auckland workers are being forced to stay home after being identified as casual plus contacts of a Kmart worker who tested positive for Covid-19. The good news is there are no new community cases today, but there have been queues of people making the familiar pilgrimage to testing centres across the city. That's because the three new cases yesterday - all linked to Papatoetoe High School - come with new locations of interest. Everyone at the school is being retested, as well as staff and shoppers at a Kmart and a vape shop. Reporter Louise Ternouth and camera operator Simon Rogers have this report.
