Health officials are encouraging Wellingtonians who are feeling a little under the weather to go and get a Covid test to help ensure the city is free of the virus.

So far there have been no positive local cases in the capital, since a man from Sydney visited for the weekend, and tested positive on his return to Australia.

But there are warnings the city's not quite out of the woods yet, with the man's partner only testing positive for the virus yesterday.

Max Towle spoke to our reporter Harry Lock, who's been visiting the capital's testing centres.
