There are 201 new Covid-19 community cases today and traces of the virus have been found in the wastewater in Taupo. The five cases announced last night will be included in tomorrow's announcement, she said. McElnay said Covid-19 had been detected in the wastewater in Taupo from a sample taken on November 8.
