Counties Manukau DHB has advised the Ministry of Health of two COVID-19 exposure events at Middlemore Hospital. Both cases arrived at Middlemore’s Emergency Department last night seeking treatment for issues unrelated to COVID-19.

In the first case, the patient answered no to all screening questions but, while in triage, clinical staff noted a very minor cough and took steps to isolate and test them.

They subsequently returned a positive COVID-19 result. This patient is now in COVID-19 isolation ward at Middlemore Hospital.

In the second case, the patient answered yes to one of the screening questions, which was also a symptom consistent with the non-COVID-related reason for going to hospital.
