Dunedin ICU nurse Dom Gauthier has his bags packed as he waits on standby to be called to assist in Auckland as the city continues its fight against the Covid-19 Delta variant. The ICU nurse was one of 25 southern healthcare workers who put their hands up to travel to Auckland to relieve exhausted health workers there in the fight against Covid-19. Mr Gauthier was on standby yesterday at home in St Clair. ‘‘If I was nursing up there, I would want to know that there was support available if needed,’’ Mr Gauthier said. But if Dunedin needed help, she would hope there were people out there coming to help.
