Weak positive result in Wellington wastewater testing"ESR undertakes regular wastewater testing across sites in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Rotorua, Hamilton and Queenstown as an additional surveillance tool in the fight against Covid-19. "Late on Friday 14 May, ESR reported there had been a weak positive test result from a sample taken in Wellington. A follow-up sample yesterday returned a second weak positive result. "Based on our experience, it is most likely that the two weak positive results are due to recently recovered cases continuing to shed the virus. "In recent weeks three recovered cases who live in the Wellington region have left the Auckland quarantine facility.
