Rail workers stood down after tests

Two workers from Auckland’s City Rail Link project (CRL) have tested positive for Covid-19, and 31 workers have been stood down as a result. Those affected were working at CRL’s Mt Eden site, where 400 people are employed. The site was continuing to operate, CRL media manager Ewart Barnsley said. Twenty-eight workers were close contacts and are isolating at home for 14 days, while three were casual plus contacts and have returned to work after testing negative.
