On today's First Up pod - Auckland Mayor Phil Goff discusses the pedestrianisation of the city centre. Will it become a no-go zone for cars? If you've gotten out of the habit of wearing your mask, best you get back in!! A virologist tells us about the BA 2.75 variant which was detected in the community yesterday; and we bring you the story of a nurse practitioner who's started up clinic in an isolated rural school so residents can get the treatment they need. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!
