The Far North man and his partner are now in self-isolation and awaiting test results to see if they have the potentially-fatal Covid-19. The 28-year-old Northland man went to the Tool concert in Auckland's Spark Arena on February 28, and was standing in the same area as New Zealand's fourth coronavirus case. Despite the low risk, strict infectious disease protocols were used when the man and his 22-year-old female partner started developing symptoms. The woman said she rang the Healthline 0800 number and waited for over an hour to speak to someone. The couple's symptoms include a cough, sore throat, nausea, diarrhoea, body aches, fatigue, headaches and fevers.
