Hundreds of Covid-19 care packages are being delivered to isolating Otago Univeristy students as Covid spreads. The student flatting strip Castle Street, and parties held there, were recently identified as locations of interest.

That's forced hundreds of contacts into isolation. The Students Association is helping pack and deliver the parcels and president Melissa Lama is expecting demand to last for a couple of months yet.
