Waikato DHB services are returning to alert level two conditions

After Covid-19 was discovered at a northern Waikato household, the DHB took a cautious approach, restricting services and visitation across their facilities as testing and contact tracing was carried out.

The return to previous conditions will take effect from 7am.

The DHB says they'll be contacting patients to reschedule the non-urgent and elective surgeries and clinic appointments that were deferred from earlier this week.
