News Highlights: Immunologist says technology can keep up with COVID variants
While public health and infectious disease experts are wary of emerging coronavirus variants, particularly one in South Africa showing signs of evading immune responses, a Harvard public health expert predicted that technology and science would eventually prevail.

Another case of Covid has appeared in the community.
A 54 year old woman who lives south of Whangarei who returned overseas and went through quarantine has developed Covid after being released from quarantine. She may have the more contagious UK variant of the virus and had tested negative while in quarantine.
Thankfully the person involved assiduously scanned everywhere she went and had a test when she felt unwell.

A list of the places she visited has been published.
Please everyone scan wherever you go, wash your hands and wear a freakin mask.
