Covid-19: Too difficult to close off Waikato - Te Awamutu mayor - a podcast by RNZ

Alert level 3 restrictions are sticking around in parts of Waikato until at least the end of next Wedneday - the same day the decision will also be reviewed.
Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield is calling for more people in the region to get tested for Covid-19, despite the Waikato District Health Board saying the 3000 swabs on Wednesday are far above normal rates.
Many of the Waikato cases this week have been in Te Awamutu, the main hub of the Waip? District - Eight yesterday, two on Wednesday and six on Tuesday.
Waip? District Mayor Jim Mylchreest spoke to Corin Dann.
