File photo: RNZThe Ministry of Health has finally revealed how many of the 55 people who left quarantine early on compassionate leave were not tested for Covid-19. Of the 55, 39 have now tested negative, seven won't be tested for medical reasons or because they are children and one was wrongly counted because their leave application was withdrawn. Of the remaining eight, four are awaiting test results and four still haven't been tested. All are in quarantine except the sister from Britain who is in self-isolation in the community in the Hutt Valley.
