Hundreds of visitors are being allowed to visit Auckland DHB hospitals every day, despite the region being at the highest covid alert level due to the delta outbreak.
The Nurses Union says it's absurd that the DHB has the softest visitor policy of any DHB in the country, despite the heightened risk in Auckland.
The NZNO has been raising concerns about the inconsistent visitor policies, as well as poor visitor behaviour, including people refusing to wear masks and turning up in groups.
Worksafe is now involved and ADHB says it will now be involving health and safety representatives in further decision making. Lynn speaks with Kate Weston, acting nursing and professional services manager for the Nurses Organisation.
