Tui Ora and the Taranaki District Health Board will be holding a community Covid-19 testing clinic in the Waitara War Memorial Hall car park on Friday. Residents of Waitara are being urged to get tested for Covid-19 after a new positive case was reported in the Taranaki town on Thursday evening. Although the Taranaki Public Health Unit has started case investigation work, early indications are that it is unlikely there will be any locations of interest. “We urge anyone in Waitara or the wider Taranaki region with symptoms – no matter how mild – to get tested, even if you’re vaccinated. “Now is the time, as vaccination is your number one defence against COVID-19.”For vaccination locations and times in Taranaki visit TDHB - COVID-19 vaccine.
