Kia ora koutou


The Waikato DHB testing team will have pop up testing available at Mobil Mercer (State Highway 1, Mercer 2474) tomorrow (Friday 17 September).
 
For a list of all other testing locations, go here: www.healthpoint.co.nz/covid-19/

From tomorrow, essential workers passing through the Auckland borders will be required to have had a Covid test within the last seven days. 
 
Proof of a test is in addition to the Business Travel Document all essential workers need to carry when they travel in and out of Auckland. 

No stand-down period applies. That is, a worker is not required to self-isolate while the test result is being processed.  Workers can continue to work provided they have no symptoms. 
 

Saliva testing

Essential workers crossing the borders can sign up for saliva testing here: covid19salivatesting.co.nz.

Workers can collect tubes beforehand and drop their sample at multiple collection points. Registration and results are done through an app, click here for more info.
