Covid-19 has been detected in wastewater in Whangamatā, according to the Waikato District Health Board.

The Waikato DHB said on Friday that health officials had not been able to link the wastewater detection to a confirmed or recovered case, 'meaning there could be an undetected case in the Whangamatā area”.

As a precautionary measure, a pop-up Covid-19 testing site is operating at the Whangamatā War Memorial Hall over the weekend and on Monday from 10.30am to 2.30pm.

The hall is located at 328 Port Rd, Whangamatā.

Covid-19 testing is also available at Whangamatā Medical Centre on Lincoln Rd. Patients must phone and book for a test.

The DHB said anyone with cold, flu or Covid-19 symptoms should get a test, even if they were vaccinated.
