A formal complaint was laid against Hauraki Drive host Thane Kirby after he suggested on air that Covid tracing information could be used to contact 'extremely attractive women”.

A possible case of community transmission of coronavirus was announced on Saturday.

The news comes after it was revealed on Thursday a student at AUT University, who lives and works in Auckland's CBD, had tested positive for the virus.

On Saturday, the Ministry of Health said there was a weak positive test result in a close contact of the student, who was already in Auckland's quarantine facility. Three new cases were also confirmed in managed isolation.
