The Ministry of Health is urging Te Awamutu residents in particular to get tested if they have symptoms and testing locations throughout the region will be operating through the Labour Weekend.

In Te Awamutu there is a pop-up testing station at the Te Awamutu Events Centre. It is open until 5pm today. Over the weekend and on Monday, it is open from 10am to 4pm.

Eighty eight per cent of Waipa's eligible population has received their first dose of the vaccine while 69.5 per cent are fully vaccinated.

This morning Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced details of the Government's traffic light system, which the country will move to when District Health Boards have 90 per cent of its eligible population vaccinated.

It was also announced last night that parts of Waikato will remain in alert level 3 until 11.59pm on Wednesday, October 27, and will be reviewed on that day.

Based on the latest public health information, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said maintaining level 3 in those parts of the Waikato continues to be the most prudent course of action.

It includes Waitomo District, including Te Kuiti, Waipa District, Ōtorohanga District, Raglan, Te Kauwhata, Huntly, Ngāruawāhia, Hamilton City and some surrounding areas
