Taranaki health officials and iwi have sprung into action setting up testing centres, after Covid-19 was detected in a wastewater sample taken in Stratford on Monday.
It's not yet known whether the virus is being shed by undetected community cases, a short-term visitor, or someone who's recently returned from managed isolation.
Taranaki DHB's medical officer of health Dr Jonathan Jarman talks to Māni Dunlop about what's happening to find the infected person or people.
