"It is likely the two weak positive results are due to recently recovered cases continuing to shed the virus," the Ministry of Health said. All the returnees tested positive on day one routine testing, while two cases tested positive on their day zero routine tests. Yesterday, health authorities reported that two Wellington wastewater samples from the Moa Point treatment plant had tested weak positive for Covid. The country's total number of confirmed cases Covid cases is 2295, the Ministry of Health said today. Since the start of this year, there have been 60 historical cases out of a total of 479 cases.
