COVID-19 has recently been detected in wastewater samples taken in Napier and
Gisborne.
The wastewater sampling was carried out by ESR between 1 and 3 November, with
results returned this afternoon. They could be due to recently recovered
cases returning to the region from MIQ who are shedding the virus, transient
visitors to the region, or could signal undetected cases in the community.
陽性汙水樣本來源可能是居隔結束的康復者，或是社區出現隱藏傳染鏈。
There are no MIQ facilities, or known COVID-19 cases self-isolating, in
Napier or Gisborne. As standard procedure, ESR will carry out further samples
in coming days with results expected early next week.
這兩個城郊並沒有隔離設施跟已知案例的居隔，會繼續監測之後的汙水樣本
As a prudent measure, anyone in the Hawke’s Bay and East Cape with COVID-19
symptoms – no matter how mild – are asked to please get tested, even if
they are vaccinated.
如果出現症狀請出來篩檢。
(中間篩檢站地點、時間等等跳過)
So far, vaccination rates in the Hawke’s Bay have remained steady with 85%
of residents having received their first dose, and 72% fully vaccinated. In
Gisborne, 79% of residents have received their first dose, and 65% are fully
vaccinated. The COVID-19 vaccination is the number one protection against the
virus.
The Ministry is monitoring the situation and will provide further public
health advice if, and when, required.
