    Lynfield College principal Cath Knell says many in the school community are finding it challenging to get a Covid test after a student tested positive for the virus

    Lynfield College principal Cath Knell says many in the school community are finding it challenging to get a Covid test after a student tested positive for the virus


    All of the Auckland school's students and staff are considered close contacts of the infected student, and so must isolate with their families until a clear day 5 test is returned.

    Knell's requested the school be used as a pop-up testing site, but is yet to hear from health officials.
