RATs go like hotcakes, unreported Omicron cases spreading

From Checkpoint, 5:23 pm on 3 March 2022

A tradie in Auckland says he knows about 25 people with Covid, none of whom have officially recorded their cases with the Ministry of Health.

There are 23,183 new cases in New Zealand on Thursday, but the tradie's experience suggests there may be plenty more out there.

Rapid antigen tests are becoming more readily available today - and have been picked up like hot cakes.
