That's the message being given to Te Awamutu residents after a Covid-19 waste water detection there today.
It follows another positive result from a sample taken on Tuesday.
Health officials haven't yet identified anyone who could be shedding the virus in the area.
Alongside testing people are encouraged to get vaccinated.
Waipa District Deputy Mayor Mayor Liz Stolwyk says she's impressed with the government's reaction to the situation.
She says an additional testing site was set up very quickly after the first positive result.
