Dunedin's infamous Hyde Street party has been cancelled - amidst coronavirus concerns.

Otago University is requesting students reconsider plans to congregate in large groups - and be aware of their role in minimising the risk of covid-19 amongst all ages.
It says students should be careful not to overload the health system with drinking-related cases, on the likes of St Patrick's day today.
