Photo: NZ HeraldThe son of a 91-year-old man who was in the same ward in Middlemore Hospital where a person tested positive for Covid-19 is distressed and seeking answers on "how things went so horribly wrong". The man who tested positive was admitted around 7am on Sunday and he was already sneezing and coughing when he arrived, according to his dad. His dad became worried when he overheard conversations that a doctor had with the man about having Covid symptoms. That left his dad and the two other patients in the room horrified. After symptoms emerged they tested positive.
