A Covid-19 tester says she's making grown men cry every day but the long shifts in sweltering PPE are making a difference.
DHBs say they've been busy testing a lot more people with the most minor of Covid-19 symptoms since the Prime Minister put the call out last week to get tested even if you have a runny nose.
One of those doing the mahi on the ground, is nurse Sue Wilson, who's at the Invercargill testing centre.
Her team is working nine-hour shifts in head-to-toe personal protective equipment - only recognisable the names scrawled on their gowns.
She told RNZ's Health Correspondent Rowan Quinn it can be daunting for people seeing them dressed in their gear - and its not much fun from the inside either.
