    The Auckland truck driver who tested positive for Covid-19 last weekend, is in Palmerston North Hospital

    The Auckland truck driver who tested positive for Covid-19 last weekend, is in Palmerston North Hospital


    They're in a stable condition and are being treated in isolation, but not in ICU.

    Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Jeff Brown says the hospital has robust processes in place to manage Covid patients without risk to other patients or staff.

    He says the case didn't pass through ED, and there are no changes to current visitor policy.
