Eight cases of swine flu (H1N1) have struck Hawke's Bay since February. Three patients are in intensive care and one in a coma.
The outbreak follows 2009's H1N1 epidemic, during which 780,000 New Zealanders were infected with the virus.
It is a waiting game for one woman she watches for positive symptoms to emerge from her sedated, ventilated and unconscious twin, diagnosed and a victim of an H1N1 virus outbreak in Hawke's Bay.
Nikki, who wished to be known by first name only, said her sister complained of a persistent cough on "day one" of feeling unwell.
