New Zealand has another 85 new coronavirus cases today and one patient is now being treated in a hospital intensive care unit.
An Auckland emergency department nurse had her car stolen, leaving her unable to get to work, but also causing the loss of valuable equipment.
Theblue Suzuki Swift stolen from Trinity St, Ponsonby between 8pm Tuesday and 3pm Wednesday.
The nurse, who only wants to be known as Simonne, said allthat was leftwas a big bath towel where her car was once parked.
Inside the car was a Macpac bag containing vital medical supplies.
She believes the thief would have likely known she was a health worker as also inside the car were an expired artificial airway, an ambu bag, several first aid kits and supplies in the glove box; a stethoscope, an eye torch, artery forceps and nursing scissors.
"It's such a nasty time to steal from someone especially when you realise that they are part of the system keeping you alive."
However, many generous and concerned Kiwis had offered their own vehicles for her to use to get to work.
"I thought it would also be helpful to get the word out on Instagram and Facebook that my little blue Swift, which I've had for more than five years, had been stolen so I made a quick post.
