Eleven police staff were wearing masks incorrectly when they came into contact with an offender who later tested positive for Covid.
A total of 13 Waitakere police officers are waiting on news as to whether they can return to work after a Covid-19 positive woman spent time in a custody suite.
The woman was arrested on September 23 and taken to the North Shore Policing Centre in Mairangi Bay, before driven to the custody unit at Henderson in West Auckland.
When officers arrested the woman for a breach of bail and burglary offences, she was asymptomatic and went through a health screening test before she was taken to the custody unit.
