A string of crashes resulting in cars ending up in Otago Harbour at Macandrew Bay is believed to be the result of driver distraction and speed, rather than issues with the road after it was widened over the past 18 months.

Amid fears Covid-19 could soon come south with travelling Aucklanders, Otago Daily Times reporter Courtney White asked WellSouth medical director Dr Carol Atmore about what people should do if they have Covid-19 symptoms or test positive for the virus.

With flights from Auckland resuming today, Wellsouth is urging those travelling to the South to reflect on travel plans before visiting the region.
