Shaun Hendy: Auckland University Covid-19 modelling expert says genome sequencing will tell us how long lockdown will last
Results of genome sequencing are due back this morning.
Auckland University Covid modelling expert Shaun Hendy told Kate Hawkesby it could tell us whether Auckland is in lockdown for seven days, or several weeks.
"If the whole genome sequencing points us back to a known case, then there's a good chance we will be out of this in that time. Otherwise, the situation is very uncertain."
