Photo: NZ HeraldThe father of two daughters who are part of the latest Covid outbreak says he fears a sharp increase in cases - with one daughter a teacher at a west Auckland high school. One of his daughters is a teacher and attended school on Monday. The daughters live together in a flat on Auckland's North Shore, and tested positive on Tuesday night, along with their two other flatmates. A partner of one of the girls not living in the flat is awaiting his Covid test results, but is believed to be experiencing symptoms. She was now isolating at home and waiting for health officials to come and give her a Covid test.
