The TDHB says these results were as expected with active cases in these locations. There has been no detection of Covid-19 in wastewater in the samples taken on February 2 for Eltham, Kaponga, Mania, Opunake, Patea, Stratford and Waverley.
A statement from the TDHB today says while wastewater testing helps identify the potential of community spread, people still need to get tested if they have any symptoms, no matter how mild.
People are also reminded to remain vigilant with their personal health measures, including wearing masks, social distancing when possible, washing hands regularly, scanning win and making vaccination a priority, especially boosters and for tamariki.
"Everyone still needs to play their part to keep our community safe. If they don't, then we risk Covid-19 becoming widespread."
Three hundred and seven Covid-19 tests were completed yesterday and 1553 vaccinations were administered in the region.
A series of vaccination pop-up clinics is scheduled to take place in a range of Taranaki towns over the next two weeks. These clinics are walk-ins, meaning no bookings are taken, or needed. All clinics run from noon to 6pm.
