A Waikato family has lost a second loved one to Covid-19. Nigel Te Hiko has died in Waikato Hospital, nearly two weeks after his brother Alan died in Auckland from the virus. Nigel (54) is believed to have contracted Covid from Alan, who had worked at the Americold facility in Auckland. On August 14 it was revealed that two people in Tokoroa had been infected with Covid. There are now three deaths related to the Auckland August cluster - after Pacific health leader and Auckland GP Dr Joe Williams died on the same day as Alan Te Hiko.
