Photo: NZ HeraldThree staff from Waitakere Hospital in Auckland have tested positive for Covid-19. The three staff were working on a ward with patients who had been transferred from the CHT St Margaret's residential aged care home in Te Atatu. Waitakere Hospital has closed affected wards to further admissions and will undertake contact tracing to try to establish the source of the infections. On April 17, ambulances transferred the first St Margaret's residents to Waitakere Hospital, with the DHB saying this "will ensure the residents receive the support they need while St Margaret's staff are cleared to return to work". As of yesterday there were 15 St Margaret's residents in Waitakere Hospital, including three who are Covid-positive.
