    Christchurch's Burnside Highschool is the latest to isolate some students due to Wellington's Covid scare

    Christchurch's Burnside Highschool is the latest to isolate some students due to Wellington's Covid scare


    Wellington entered Alert Level Two on Wednesday after a Covid-positive Australian man visited the city last weekend.

    Haeata Community Campus and Ashburton College also have connections to locations the Sydney man visited.

    Burnside High School Principal Phil Holstein says there are a small number of students away from school after being in Wellington last weekend.

    He says they've asked them to get tested and wait at home until they get their results.
