Dr Bloomfield was full of praise for Dunedin medical staff at today's update. "They set it all up at [Forsyth Barr Stadium] there in Dunedin, processed all the students, so they could get the swabs done quickly. ‘‘I think they’re taking a very scientific approach to it and listening to the experts, which is obviously not the case in all countries around the world.’’Ms Mouat herself was not tested yesterday.
