The Ministry of Health said the further samples tested from Moa Point and Hutt Valley did not detect any virus fragments across May 15, May 16 and May 17. The samples from Porirua and Karori on May 15 and May 17 returned negative results – so Covid-19 virus fragments were not detected on those days, the ministry said. Additional samples were taken on Tuesday and the ministry said it would provide an update on those test results on Thursday.
ESR/Supplied “There is no risk of infection from Covid-19 in wastewater,” the ministry said. “The ministry’s current assessment remains that the weak positive results are likely due to recently recovered cases continuing to shed the virus.”
