Counties Manukau DHB has this morning released a range of projections on just how bad Omicron will hit the Auckland region.
Director of Population Health Dr Gary Jackson's findings show case numbers across the region of between 1500- 1800 cases per day by March and April - if an outbreak were to start in February.
Cases would drop away to the low hundreds by May, through to September.
Emergency medicine specialist Dr John Bonning talks to Sarah Robson.
